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 All, my son is in this division. It is great reading the posts, but one thing I haven't received a call yet. I am so scared I will miss the call. Also, I saw something about ribbons. Please whoever is in charge of this I am interested and will send whatever, just let me know. Did receive 1 letter, his girlfriend got 2 but who's counting.... Thanks for being able to join this group. I miss him terribly.

I asked the teacher from my sons 6th grade class if the class could send my SR letters. All 20 students sent a short letter, they were really great, with a lot of questions for him. Happy to say that big brother sent back a letter yesterday addressed to the teacher, thanking her for having the class send the letters, and then answering as many questions as he could. He told them that when he comes home to visit he will go to their classroom and chat with them. It really made my day!

My son is in this group of guys! I'm so very excited that the PIR date is next week. Sadly, his dad and I aren't able to make it for graduation. I just got a letter that said he was ok with us not coming, that we'd only get to spend a few hours with him anyways cuz he leaves for A school early Saturday morning. It still breaks my heart anyways that we can't go. I any of ya'll are going, say hi to Kristopher R from Texas!
