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."

Hi, I'm Melissa. I too look forward to receiving the box and letter. I have been a nervous wreck! I guess all is going well. I am a teacher and start back tomorrow. I am hoping that the crazy busy beginning of year schedule keep my mind off of worrying about my son. :) It is good to have someone going through the same thing.

Nice to meet you Peggy! I have been looking at the pictures too. I have also been on the RTC ( U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command) FB page hoping to catch a glympse of him. They add picks often and there are a good variety. I'm hoping that since they will be "Cardinal Company" all through boot camp we might be more likely to see pics. :)
