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."

Carrie, my son also received a sharpshooter ribbon, and he is also going SC, except that he'll be at Fort Jackson for Religious Assistance Specialist (RAS) A school.
Looking forward to meeting you and your family.

Hi Carmelita, what part of California are you from? I used to live near San Francisco and I was stationed in San Diego for over 5 years while I was in the Navy. Me too, I can't wait to give my SR the biggest hug ever and can't wait to hear him tell me all about his life for the last 2 months. I am bringing my digital recorder. Yes, I am going to interview him like a reporter. Putting together my questionnaires right now. :) Looking forward to meeting you, your family and your newest sailor.
