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."

The military channel this week are doing navy themed, anyway last night I watched Submariner life on a boomer. And at the half way point of there deployment they have a party and tip that Sub 5 degrees and have a homemade derby races. It was the cutest thing to see these homemade derby cars rolling downhill on a sub.

i will have to ask Jacob about that as I have not heard of it but it sounds cute I wish I had the militray channel :(

Ohhh it was so cute ........ and informative.
Sometimes they get to surface and spend the day swimming off the sub, they even had a BBQ going on top of the sub. We just laughed.
Also do you know about family grams ?
Ohhhhh yes and also this one wife/parents did the coolest thing for the sub man. because of lack of communication .they made this calender for him and every other day or so they had a number and color on the calender that coordinated with this box of goodies for him to open. So on yellow #2, he would look into the box and find yellow #2 and he could open that letter, or small package. One had pictures in it and the man got a tear.
It really gave a good look into life on a boomer.

I am sure that it is informative. I send as much as I can with Jacob he and I wrtie all the time when he is "down" they get mail but he does not get it often but it is always a GREAT suprise when I get that email from him.
