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."

Hi Selena, I feel the same way you do...i guess we are all on the same boat. That why this is a great site to get moral support. My son is also my first born. Let's keep in touch.. I'm still new at this site, so i'm still learning on how to work with it.

My son leaves to Miami on the fifth, but actually swears in on the sixth. He goes to Meps in Miami, we will meet him there for the swear in. Then maybe to the airport if they let us. I am worried about how to get to PIR in January in Great Lakes...brrrr

Divisions 043 and 044 are Brother Divisions and train together and will have Battle Stations-21 together. The famales of the 2 divisions bunk together and the males of the 2 divisions bunk together. They have mail call together, so you could address letters to either division or both and they will get to her. She will put one of the divisions down at some point.
Join the group, PIR 12/28/2012 TG 7 - 8 Divisions (039 - 044, 906 & 907).
