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."

Never heard of that before...I would guess that is something the command does internally. Like the school commands do with "Student of the month" awards. I can tell you that it isn't a medal or ribbon that they would wear on their uniform.

I agree with zuzu, he may be receiving the Honor Graduate of his division.
HONOR GRADUATES
Each division votes for the recruit they most looked up to, the one who displayed the most military bearing or perhaps helped a lot of recruits out.

The other awards are listed at https://www.facebook.com/#!/notes/us-navy-recruit-training-command/... and what you wrote isn't anything like those. You will be getting something in the mail soon from the RTC.
