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."

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance. Please take the timeto read the OPSEC and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names of Recruits/Sailors are not allowed on this site. If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but remember someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.

Comment by chillmom (12/094) on February 17, 2012 at 3:19am: I Got my first letter from my SR today!!!! He's well and should be calling soon!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on February 17, 2012 at 12:10am: I have a really good questionnaire that I made when my daughter was at bootcamp. I posted it in th discussions above so all your have to do is copy and paste it and print it. You may have to tweak it just a little because my Sailor is a girl. It has a great paragraph in it that is full of encouragement for battle stations and now that they are at the half way point this is a really good time to send it. Make copies and send extras for their friends. I think they can all benefit from the encouragement and it is pretty funny as well. I hope you all like it :-) Thanks

Comment by NavySoccerMom on February 16, 2012 at 10:33pm: Mom2kandq- we will go with the blue scarves with white stars then. I also ordered our division shirts. I am also very proud to wear that. I don't think you were being a pain. Lol.

Comment by mom2kandq on February 16, 2012 at 10:12pm: NavySoccerMom, I must have missed the discussion about yellow for 091. We are going to wear 091 Division t-shirts. Not trying to be a pain but it is a shirt I will wear and will be proud of.

Comment by NavySoccerMom on February 16, 2012 at 9:50pm: Just curious, but who chose yellow for 091? I had opened a discussion in our discussion forum about this and had suggested something else with no response, so just wondering. No hard feelings, just don't want some stuck with a color we didn't want or discuss.

Comment by navymom092 on February 16, 2012 at 9:10pm: Ok I got back the boot camp questionair from my SR today. The SR's had sat around reading his aloud and taking turns answering it. I don't remember who of the older moms had posted it but the SR's had him ask that we send them some to do and send home. They also want others so if whoever posted it will tell everyone where it was surely we can come up with another one or two! They need the laughs!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on February 16, 2012 at 8:36pm: Thanks so much proud mom. Choosing a color for brother divisions is actually a very good idea :-)

Something very strange happened to my computer today. Did you know you screen could be rotated sideways or upside down? I had no idea and don't know how it happened but it did lol. I had to call a computer tech to figure out how to change it back. Why would anyone "need" a computer to even do that? lol..... no idea. Just glad it is fixed I thought maybe I had caught a crazy sideways virus lol

Comment by lala 4 on February 16, 2012 at 6:39pm: Wow! 1 month from today my boy will officially become a sailor man! Still no phone call. Still hoping for a letter tomorrow.

Comment by sheryl Navy 2 on February 16, 2012 at 5:43pm: Got a letter from our SR , so did his sister at school and girlfriend who has pneumonia so made our day ....

Comment by Micki (Yokosuka Japan~ USS GW) on February 16, 2012 at 4:45pm: Me either, and she said she mailed some when we spoke onthe 14th, so maybe tomorrow we will get some :)
