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 daughter just called - needed her passport information. Although she couldn't talk (business call), she was able to tell me that today is Week 1/Day 1. I couldn't tell how she sounded except for businesslike. I guess that beats the heck out of miserable, though. I told her we sent her 18 letters yesterday and she replied, "I don't know if I will have anywhere to put them." I think I will still write every day, just send them twice a week or so though.
I will probably make my hotel reservations today or tomorrow. We will probably stay at the Holiday Inn Express as my brother-in-law works for IHG (parent company) and can get us a friends & family rate. Hope everyone has a blessed day!

I just made our hotel reservations at the La Quinta in Gurnee Mills. It's $49 a night with free hot breakfast and heated indoor pool. I am wondering if there are different Week 1/Day 1 in our division, because my son said his first day was the 23rd. That would make today Week 2/Day 2. I'm really not sure how all that works. Now we just have to figure out how we're going to get there. It's a 16 hour drive, a 2 1/2 hour drive to Dallas and a 22 hour train ride, or a 2 1/2 hour drive to the airport and a 2 hr flight. Not sure which is the best for our family. We will definitely need a vehicle while we are there though. What is everyone else doing?

I am so sorry to hear that. I will keep you all in my prayers. This time is hard enough as it is, but to be extended and by an injury just makes it so much worse. That is my biggest fear through this also. I hope he heals fast. Good luck.
