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."

If you can find a card easily, send it with him, otherwise, let him buy one at the NEX. No need to spend a ton of time and money searching for a card.
About $20 should do it, although maybe a bit more as airport food gets expensive. Most in flight food has to be paid for by credit card these days, so eat before boarding.
Tell him to get some sleep the night before he flies out, he'll be up for nearly 48 hours initially.

My son didn't know if he could take one with him. I've seen them around. Getting him to rest and eat are the things I pray over the most. He was supposed to leave in April & on Thursday before ship date on Tuesday, he comes up with Mono! He is over the most of that, got his release, so ready to go on even if he isn't in tip top shape. The hurry up & wait from his fiasco with the Air Force now this is about to drive him bonkers. Thanks everybody!
