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."

just got my letter yesterday and my fiance mentioned about the 3 days liberty after battle stations before graduation on the 18th. have your sailors mentioned this to you?

He said there are still some people messing up the little stuff causing massive IT sessions. He mentioned if the division doesnt start becoming a team soon, they're going to start sending people back two weeks until the division starts becoming one. I hope this wont happen, too close to graduation!

Our son is ship 3 div 79. It's good to hear of other parents in this group. It's like having a little connection to our kid. any news from your recruit how they are doing? Our son only said that it is a different lifestyle and that they are behind because they keep getting "beat".

Jsone, I'm still waiting for my next letters! No calls yet, hopefully this week. My fiance said the same thing about the group. But that was last week, maybe this week they're better. :)
