OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

@Sherees...From what I have read they can have all those things. If they are going to A school in Great Lakes, you can give it to them after they check in. If they are flying out, you have to give it to them at the airport. Hope that helps :) FYI...I gotta a letter too! Awesome!

My son was extremely upbeat in this letter. He is real happy that they are going to start with a lot of hands on stuff. He also said that bunk mates were reassigned. His new bunk mate is not great at putting away his stuff. Hopefully my Eagle Scout will help send him in the right direction.
