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."

I have left info on most of your My Pages about your future Sailor's rating (job/specialty) and "A" School. If anyone else needs this info, leave a comment on my My Page with the rating or field and I will comment back on your My Page. I also have that info for the PACT programs.

We are in illinois as well, and our boy has a ship date of 16 but i believe we need to take him to meps on the 15th...

If his ship date is the 16th, then he will spend the night of the 15th at a hotel near MEPS. The recruiter often picks up the future Sailor, but sometimes parents drop off the future Sailor at the Recruiting Office or other location and is able to spend time at the hotel with the future Sailor until the evening--there is usually a 7 or 8 pm curfew at the hotel when loved ones must leave. Your future Sailor will be getting info from the recruiter on how things will work.
