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."

Very happy to say I got to talk to my SR last night. He sounded great-focused & calm.

That is awesome ooroche! Now, I am waiting for his letter. Still making plans for PIR. I have my room all set but these airfares seem unrealistic. Are any of you flying in?? I was going to try that Spirit Airlines but there was way too many complaints. Do I have the nerve to ask for a military discount? Feedback would be really appreciated.

Did anybody get Sailors' letters yet? I think this division is in sync with everything else.

oops I am new here and sent you a message instead of posting here
my son told me Saturday that they would be allowed to write letters Sunday Ship 13 Div 133
I booked through Southwest because everyone else had too many rules and am staying at the Red Roof Inn I am flying into Milwaukee the airfare was cheaper and the rental car over 200 cheaper
I told Southwest why I was flying and they were more than happy to accommodate anything that we needed- my sons recruiter told me to check them
I am from Chicago so we are making a trip of it!

This is good info. Unfortunately, Southwest doesn't fly out of our airports here. Sylvia

My sons gf just texted me and said she got her ltr today, so I'm hoping mine will be in the mailbox when I get home! My son also said Sun's were their day to write, but not a lot of time. I'm in Ohio, so we will be driving in-where's everyone else coming in from?

My son is in Division 133
I was so happy to find this group! This whole experience for me has been an emotional
roller coaster. One second I'm happy and then the next Im overcome with sadness at the thought that I can't just give him a call to see how he is doing. I just miss him so much.
