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."

I found my SR in the Mom's day photos..just a side mug while marching, but enough a mom would know! I sat intently searching all of the 385 pics!
I've gotten letters, but no phone calls for 2 weeks now.. are they just busy? -

Yes, they are that busy!!! I haven't gotten any letters for almost 3 weeks and no calls for the past week. I hope he can call this weekend. Just miss him sooo much and anxious to hear how well they did this past week. I think they may have done the tear gas chamber as well and an important written test. Keeping them in prayer until I hear from him. Wouldn't it be great if all of us got the call on the same day !!! Blessings for a good nights rest for our SR and us ! Good night :)

Hi 03/204 moms. No call this weekend from our SR. They must have been kept busy last week. Praying for confidence, endurance, and cooperation for our group!

GOOD MORNING MOMS !!! Has anyone heard from their SR from 03/204 ? I know we are really close to BS !!!!! Got a letter from my SR yesterday :) No phone call in over 3 weeks !! Says they are REALLY busy and would send a longer letter later but I'm thinking he's too busy. He's a bit nervous about "messing up" So, they all need prayer for confidence and wisdom to remember all they have learned thus far. Most likely has already taken the final PFA test. He's really excited for PIR and says everyone is ready to get out!! It's a lot for them to take in in a short amount of time but with prayer and petition we can bring these requests to God in their behalf and ours for His peace to be upon them. Blessings to all our SR for success to finish this race set before them. I'm so looking forward to finding you moms at PIR :) Congrats to all the SR who are now "SAILORS !!!!" Well done.

Hi mikesmom and all 03/204 Moms: We have not heard anything yet from our SR regarding BS. We also have not received a call for 3 weeks! But we did get our weekly letter. Surely BS must be very close now, I never let my phone out of my site! Looking forward to PIR, what a great day it will be. I hope to meet some of you there. We are leaving to drive back shortly. Praying for safe travel for all as well as for endurance and confidence for all our SRs!!!

Thanks, Buzz beck !! So excited for the call that it reminds me of waiting for that first call !! We will be flying to Chicago most the day Wednesday and my phone will be in airplane mode :( Surely don't want to miss his call but I don't know what to do other than take it on faith and just come anyways. Hope they make that call Tuesday. Stay strong and keep praying for our 204 SR. Have a safe trip. Hope to meet you at PIR.

Our family had a wonderful time at PIR, so proud of all including our new sailor. I wish I could have attended the Meet and Great to meet the other Navy moms, but a family event prevented it. All the best to you other moms, it was a privilege to share this special transition time together. God Bless you all.
