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."

My son is reporting on 5AUG. I was doing so well with all of this but the closer the date gets the more anxious I'm becoming. I couldn't be more proud of him for his decision to serve and follow in the tradition of his dad (Marine) and his grandpa (Army).

Recruits do not all start training on the same day. Your SR is currently in P-days and his first day of training (DOT) will be one day next week, possibly as early as Tuesday, but it could be later in the week depending on when his division filled. See Arrival and What Happens at the RTC.
