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."

He can get a New Testament/Psalms and Proverbs at the RTC. Some send back watches not realizing that they can keep them--he would have had to send back one because no one needs two at the RTC.

The one he wore is the one he actually wanted to keep but we thought was too big. The one he took was very small and his recruiter thought was fine. We figured he would keep whichever was allowed and send the other back so that wasn't a surprise but no big deal.

Still no form letter today but it is still early I guess. Guess 8 days but only 7 days for mail. So I'm stalking the mailman. Lol
