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."

yahoolady..I'm keeping my fingers crossed that tomorrow is the day for the rest of the letters. They said Wednesday and Thursday are big letter days so hopefully after this first round it will develop a pattern.
I'm anxious to hear from everyone how they are all doing.
Good thoughts headed your way!!

tdemara - stay strong. I am sure it will be coming soon.
We got letters from our daughter today and said that BC is the really tough, but she is doing fine. She said if Forest Gump can do it, so can she - LOL. Her letter seemed pretty upbeat, so I am very relieved. She was designated as the Dental person for Div 179 - just means she has to keep track of all of the dental paperwork for her division. Good news was that she didn't have to have any dental work done. We thought she was going to need to have her wisdom teeth pulled, but she doesn't. She said the food is pretty good and that started PT that day. Everything seemed good and she even said that this is where she belonged. Her father and I am elated.

Also glad to hear she didn't need her wisdom teeth out, hope they leave my sons alone too.
Well I'm wait until tomorrow.. lol

I'm in NY, used to live in MD. My husband was stationed at Andrews AFB for years. He retired and we moved to NY. I'm hoping my son wrote, I can see him saying "I 'll do it next time"... Lol
