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."

Hey Ship 12, Div 057 moms please leave your name and something fun from your SR's first short note. My SR said the food wasn't "super bad" and he likes his new hair cut. Aren't our young men and women the best! Hope to hear from several of you soon!

I talked to my son on Saturday. He will also be going to sub school in Connecticut, but he did not get his orders on when he will leave. Battlestations should be tonight, but he wasn't sure about when he will call because anybody may have watch duty. After they won the Captian's Cup I was so proud of them.
Any word from BS-21 for Division 57? I'm so anxious I can hardly stand it!
You should get a call this afternoon.
Just got the call, My son said everyone passed. I'm so excited and can't wait to see everyone at PIR.
Congrats to all. I got my call. I think he was too tired to be excited. It'll probably really sink in tomorrow after a good night's sleep. He said they get to go to bed at 8pm tonight. He can't wait. He said something about being up for 48 hours? Sometimes if they have inspections he stays up and straightens everyone's stuff and irons all their things so the whole group will get better scores.
Hey ladies, We made it! Can't wait to meet all of you Thursday evening. My son didn't mention any orders when he called today. He was too tired to remember much I think. I am thinking that even if their A schools don't start for a week or so that they still report to the school without liberty to go home. I think they just do cleaning types of jobs until their schools start. I guess we will soon figure it out for sure.
Our son thought he would get orders tomorrow, He has a physical in the morning for aircrew. He also said he had heard rumors they would get another call tomorrow. I just hope he doesn't have to leave early Saturday!!!
I feel like I can breathe now. Anyone else? Weather is going to be great and so is the Weekend!!!!!! See you there! No snow on the ground, weather report is Balmy! For us Mass. folks, anyway! Yay! See you all soon.
woohoo, got my lime green scarf, binoculars and kleenex ready!
