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."

My recruit was asked to call home to have me fax my citizenship papers

Hello. I am new to the this site. First, thank you for creating this site! It has been an incredible help to me. My question is, when my son enlisted, he was asked for all my citizenship papers when he went to MEPS. He is currently at RTC. On his second full day, he called home as he was asked to have me fax over my naturalization documents as well as my drivers license. I was foreign born, but my father was American and my mother was Vietnamese. I was given a fax number, but no actual name to attention the documents to other than "front desk". I sure would like to have a name before I fax over my entire identity. Is there anyone I can call? Thank you in advance.

Include your SR's name and Division number on the cover page of the Fax when you fax it.

You are very welcome

Be very careful because it is illegal to copy (mechanically or electronically) your actual citizenship certificate. Look at yours, it is stamped. Their is another form that is authorized to prove your citizenship, you need to use that one.
I had this same problem.

Thanks Craig. Yep. I'm well aware of the inability to make copies.all i have is my naturalization cert. I sent what I had last Tuesday and haven't heard back. Hope It was sufficient. New news= good news?

It sounds like your sailor will be an IT, CT, IS, or MT. Correct?

You are correct indeed. I sure hope it isn't me that is holding him back. My father served in the Army, my uncle served in The Navy. My husband served in The Air Force. I just had the misfortune of being born on foreign soil.

Your good, because he's not "bound by affection" of someone foreign. If you join the Cryptology group here at N4M, I explain the whole process.
