OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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."

It will come. I finally got my letter yesterday and it was a huge relief. My son also said he was on the performing unit holding a flag. My neice, who is stationed in West Virginia, says its a tough job because the ceremony is pretty long. My thought is atleast I will know where he is.

Hello!! I received the form letter with his ship and div # on February 13th also his belongings arrived the same day. I have not received any other letters from him yet. He played a brass instrument for 9 years in school, so I'm guessing that he is in the band. I hope your letter comes very soon. :)

Yes, I did too. :) He left on Feb.7th from MEPS to the airport same day. The recruiter told me he will be doing the flags of the rifles the day of graduation! I text his recruiter and asked if he follows him through boot. He said just small bits but was able to find that out for me :) I hope I didn't ruin my son's surprise when he writes to tell me :) I hope to get that letter tomorrow from him! As everyone is saying we should get them tomorrow or on Friday. I hope your letter comes soon too :)
