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."

Not since the original safe arrival call three and a half weeks ago. Every time the phone rings, I am hoping, of course.

My SR called his mom today to ask for some documents he urgently needs. But, he also said said his first official call may be tomorrow. If anybody messes up today, then that privilege may be taken away. I'm not sure if he meant the whole division, but there is a possibility that some calls may be made tomorrow. So, keep your phones with you! :)

My son called once the first week for information related to his dad's citizenship. He called me again right on the three week mark forhis passport information. I got his first letter the next day. Hoping for another letter or call soon.

Great News! My son from PIR 7/13/2011 just called. He said they had up to twenty minutes each to talk-so get to yoour phones. We talked for ten minutes and then I got off so he could call his dad at work. He sounded so much better than he did a few weeks ago. He has passed all physical and they won an academic flag for having the highest score on the first test. After hearing how upbeat he was I feel so relieved. He said everyone in SHIP 3 Division 218 is getting mail.
