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."

We I was excited that I received two letters this week. But was sad because he said he called and I didn't answer. I have had my phone with me everyday since he left. Every unknown caller I answer thinking it was him. Man... I hate to think I missed it. I have been waiting for so long. What the heck... We I am glad I got the letters. Even though he says he hasn't received any letter from me for a while. Lord knows I've sent 2-4 letter per day. Praying that he gets my words of encouragement and love. 25 days can't come soon enough. That way I can physically see him and hug him and let him know how proud I am. Praying for him... And his whole division! Have a great night all! Hope to meet you all!

Hi Ladies! It's been a few days since I've been on here but still do get the updates via email :) Only 23 more days to PIR. In Austin's letter I received yesterday, he said he's made a calendar for himself and is counting down the days to PIR! Have any of you ordered the custom division t-shirts or hoodies? I was thinking about ordering a hoodie for myself. I hope everyone is doing well. I know I've finally calmed down a bit from the shock of not having Austin around. I count my blessings everyday and feel very fortunate to have gotten 6 letters and 2 phone calls so far!

Im waiting to hear back from Brandon to see if he already ordered the tshirts, If not I will be ordering mine. Ive also tried getting in touch with the MWR to see if they will be selling them the day of graduation. I read tshirts just dont know if they mean those. Seems like they dont like to answer phones so I shot them an email..We'll see.
