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."

I did the same thing! I printed the three pictures with him in them and sent them for him to see and point out the friends he's made.
Hopefully we'll get some good pictures tomorrow
15 days...

I'm so thankful to the person that posted the graduation pictures of the choir. I can see my son's face wearing what he calls "birth control glasses" on the right in the second row. It's so good to see him after 6 weeks. I can't wait to hug him!

does anyone know how far the Navy Lodge is from the base, also wondered if they have a shuttle. Thank you

It's a mile and a half I believe. And to my knowledge no shuttle. It is the best priced though. I'm staying there.

No problem. Also just so you know, once you check into the visitors center they can get you a wheelchair if you would like so you do not have to walk out to the field. The best part, it will be pushed by a handsome sailor!

Hello ladies. Hope all is well with everyone. I want to thank you ladies for keeping me sane, by sharring your stories. I received a letter from my son stating he and his drill team performed in a graduation. I checked Facebook, and to my amazement...THERE HE WAS!!!!! : ) Talk about being overjoyed. What a wonderful treat! I truly can not wait until graduation.
I do have a question regarding the graduation being outside.
Where exactly outside is it going to be located? -
-
-
It is on a big field over there. We go to the same place as every other graduation to check in, then they direct us to the field. Congrats on finding a picture!!
