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 got a letter from my SR today and she gave me her new address for ship 11 and said that they were moving Thursday, which would would have been yesterday. She also put the new ship address as her return address so I would say it is a for sure thing.

Did you order the Ship 14 coin or Ship 11?

I ordered ship 11. I doubt if it matters - the time is split equally between ships. Still no calls...

Maybe I will order a Ship 11. I know with the no calls. I have only received one letter! Killing me over here!!! By the way, your pooch is soooo cute!

My son wrote a letter with his new address but of course forgot the new ship number. How long did it take you guys to get your coins? I was holding off ordering them to find out his new ship. He is division 273. I imagine his new ship is 11 then.We have not received any calls from him in over two weeks. Its hard but we are getting closer.

Mine took about a week to come. It's mailed from Colorado and I'm in California.

We received the coin today -- really didn't take long --just a few days! I think I ordered it Friday or Saturday and we got it Monday. we are in Michigan.

I missed my daughters first phone call today but luckily I caught the second one. She sounds really good and is excited that they are almost to battlestations. She said that she had fun shooting but that she had a hard time with the shotgun (she is a little on the petite side) so someone had to stand by her to make sure she didn't get knocked down when she shot. The only bad thing was that she has gotten sick again. Not sick enough to effect her training but sick enough to be annoying. It is the second time she has been sick since she got there. I asked how the new ship was and she said way worse than the last one. She said right now she just wants to be able to go out and walk around in the real world. lol

Boys also dont seem to answer any of the questions you have in their letters. So you have to constantly figure it all out. Thanks for having these websites where there are so many people willing to help you.We have not gotten a phone call in going on three weeks. So we can not ask him on the phone.
Well I better not complain. At least he is writing
