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 flutterflyship2devision909 - I'm a proud mom too, with a son in div 02 ship 909. I haven't gotten a letter yet. I suspect he's sending important info to his dad.

During my call today I was told that they were given extra time to write letters but not all letters have been mailed yet, but that we should be receiving them soon.

Thanks. My son hates handwriting. I guess I'm basing my lack of letters on the fact that when my oldest was in Marine Boot Camp, I got a letter at least twice a week. They make them write. :)

I have gots lots of tissue handy nowadays as that's all I can seem to do... Cry at the drop of a hat and I am sooooo not a crier...
But, I know PIR will be so very special and I am more than excited to see him perform and PIR... We are officially half way and now I can't seem to sit still!

So on a bright note of all the waiting and worrying.. How is everyone making their soon to be sailors a part of Christmas>? I have started a If I had a million dollars what would I get you this year. Each letter gives a new gift. As well as his little sister has brought back a tradition they had by writing Santa a letter for Christmas. She wrote hers and sent it to him. She is waiting for his which she will put with cookies and milk. They add a list of all the things they want. Oh and an appology for anything they did wrong. lol.. They did this together up till 2 years ago.
