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."

My son is 22, he was afraid he was going to be the oldest but the more I read I realize there are a number of "old" SRs. I was surprised the number that are married.

My son will be stay in GL for A school. Wow a New Years Eve wedding very romantic, is he concerned he will be deployed or does he have a long A school. My son's A school is only 8-12 weeks so he will be done by the time the summer is over.

I think your son may be the one my son talked about in the letter. Said he felt like an old man but there was actually one or two older than him. My son too graduated from college, however he could not find a good enough job. My son is informally engaged, buying the ring when he goes to A school, but so far we don't have a date. Probably next fall but we will see. My son's A school I think is in MS but not sure, our recruiter was a bit wishy washy and some things have not panned out like they should have. All in all however, great experience.

Welcome! My son just turned 25 while at bootcamp, have not received any letters yet but so glad to hear they are sounding upbeat which probably helps each other!

In my son's letter it was comical him calling the 22 and under crew, "kids". My son played college sports and was very use to discipline so he fusses about "kids" all the time. LOL His brother is 20 and he fusses about his lack of discipline all the time. I really don't remember being 25 and thinking I was old, heck 55 these days isn't too old LOL

I am bumm because next Sunday and following week we won't be able to take any calls at all (again we will be out of country) I think some of the other divisions has been able to call. Hope I get a letter this week.
