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."

Calamityjane if you go to facebook and search officer training command newport there you can find pictures that they post. they usually post on tuesday are least the did when my son was there last year. there will most likely be a fb page just for the class too for love one to connect. YES send letters plain white envelopes do not send anything like cookies or until week 9 which is known as candio week. In a few weeks he will be able to email you when they move out of the indoc phases and at that time they can use the phone with a phone card to call home. we received are first call july 4th and he passed RLP ( room, locker and personal inspection) this is a huge first huddle for them. Not sure about the class number usually it is somelike 08-16 meaning 8th class of 2016 so when looking at the newport pg just look for the pictures of guys and girls getting their uniforms

I believe your son's class number would be 09-16. I have not seen a Facebook page yet for that class. Search on Facebook for Officer Training Command, like their page on FB. This is where you will find pictures for each class. Read other comments on this group, there will be a link for class 08 on FB. Find that page on FB and it will give you an idea of what your loved one will be doing. Good luck!
