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."

Thanks! I think I covered it all, if you still see anything I left out would you please give me a heads up?

You are very welcome.

I found the website with the OCS address, the only thing I don't have is a class number - I'm searching all over FB etc and can't figure out what he would be. Is there any way to get this so I can start sending letters?

My son was at ODS last month - same base, different program. I waited to hear from him as to the address, ODS has a "company name" as opposed to a class number. However, I would bet he would receive a letter based on his name in the system. I know my son received mail forwarded after ODS to him at UVa rather quickly, so they must have a reliable system at Newport!

As luck would have it the FB page you all directed me to gave me the answer I needed. My first letter is on it's way! Thanks, everyone!

I received my sons letter about a week and a half after he arrived. It will be a form letter with the exact address and his graduation date. Still waiting for my first "written" letter from him.

rjandme, If your son is in boot camp, that is different from OCS (Officer Candidate School).

Im new to the Navy. My son just began OCS in Newport, RI on July 5th, then will go onto Pensecola, FL for flight training (I'm a wreck about that!) I received a text from him that he made it & text me a pic of the address.
