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 left on the 16th, too. I still have not received a form letter. What's in the letter? I did get something from the Red Cross, is that the letter everyone is talking about? PIR 1/8 Ship 06, Div 059.

annemarrie, Your recruit would have sent The Form Letter, not the Red Cross. The Form Letter (clickable link) includes the Ship and Division number and address, so since you have that info, I suspect that you have received it from him.
I left info for you on your My Page.

Thanks a bunch. I did get the form letter over the weekend. I was starting to worry because so many others had already received their letter.

My son arrived on Monday the16th. Got his box on Thursday the 19th and his form letter Monday 23rd. We are from Florida and every day I am thinking about the adjustments he is going through -- not only with the training but the weather. Brrrrrrrrr After not hearing from him for a whole week when I got his form letter it was like winning the lottery, I hooped and hollered and immediately texted the whole family. It didn't even matter that there was no personal greeting I knew it was from him him and that he was ok.
Ship 06, Div 590 with PIR date of 01/08/16.
