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."

Have you heard from him yet? Other than the form letter? I keep checking the pictures on the great lakes facebook page to see if I see him in the random pics they have. Haven't seen div 175 yet though. :-(

Hopefully it won't cause any problems for him. Is it affecting his workouts? I have a heart murmur and they dont notice it unless i get a high fever, or really sick.
My son said their division is a good division, so maybe things will get better now that the first few tough weeks are over. :-)

Hi - Got my first letter thursday night. It sounds pretty tough, but he is taking it day by day. He was assigned Yeoman, not exactly a job he wanted (lots of paperwork)...he had to take over for another SR - but he is trying to be a trooper. They have now made him Head Yeoman (I guess he's doing a good job) - Made a few comments...he got kicked out of bathroom for taking too long a shower (20 seconds), got punished twice for facial hair - had to dry shave in middle of everyone - said no spare time at all...Said Division lost shower stalls and have to pee sitting down for punishment. We just have to keep sending good thoughts to them and hope these weeks go fast. Said his Division and brother Division are about 80 people, by 4/18 they were already down to 75. Hang in there everyone....

My son is also heading for corpsman school after basic, we got our first letter from him last week, he seemed to be upbeat about most things...except for lack of sleep. Can't wait for a phone call.

Yep same place. I've looked it up, and it is a really big facility. My son told me not to come to his bootcamp graduation, and go to that a school grad instead in texas. I told him I was going to both. Silly boy. :-) I couldn't miss bootcamp grad.
