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 can't wait to meet you all. I didn't order a scarf but I will be carrying a black purse with the Naval insignia on it that says Navy Mom.

I got MAIL!!! He sounds really good, except that he got 1 1/2 hrs of PT because the guy in the rack next to him I guess "back talked" an RDC to he and his rackmate had to do PT, then all Eric heard was "YOU AND YOU TOO" and the guys in the racks to this kids left and right had to do PT too. Eric said he didn't even know what was going on until after. He said they said JUMP and I did...LOL He said they are getting their Dress Blues today. Can't wait to see him in those!

I don't know what I'll be wearing but I will have my ribbon on! I have rsvp's to both events. It will depend on how we feel after travelling if I will get to Sarge's. Our drive is only 6 hours or so. We drove up there last December (year ago) and the snow was horrific. I drove the last hour at 20 mph. Made it to Michigan Av and our hotel and didn't leave the bar till they closed it! Crazy driving! Hopefully, it will not be like that in 3 weeks. I'm glad this is almost finished...20 days! Hope you all have a great weekend! Lisa D.

I know, I have 6 of us! Little nervous myself but I think it will be fine. This is not a HUGE graduating class and I know my SR said 15 people have dropped out of Div 075 since the beginning.

Really...15? Did some come back to this division from other divisions?

Yes. They've had a lot of guys leave the division for one reason or another. My SR commented on it. I think it surprised him and makes him be more on his toes (although medical reasons can't be helped). And, yes, others are being ASMO'd into their division.
Basically, divisions are very fluid. Not everyone graduates with their original division for various reasons.
