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."

Comment by GrannyRachel29Palms on October 21, 2012 at 8:38pm: My sailor is in A-school in Ft Sam Houston. Basic Corpsman training is going well. Apparently, Navy, Air force, Army have a rivalry going. Why 20 Army pukes would try and rumble with 4 SO Corpsmen is a puzzler. Navy won. hehehe. My sailor was amused by the event. I get an occasional text, and see his rare Facebook post. I guess he's busy. Ah well, when they get deployed, we hear less. GO NAVY! let's just be supportive of our sailors. I'm not going to whine about it, they are doing a fine job.

Comment by happyfeet(ship 09/Div 288) on October 21, 2012 at 1:03am: jeepmom~ Wow! My daughter is ATI and will be just STARTING school Monday! Has been there since 07Sept.!! Good for you that yours did not have a long waiting period :)

Comment by jeepmom on October 18, 2012 at 10:03pm: Hi,

My son is almost done in Pensicola,we are lucky we hear from him alot and have been Skyping. He's supposed to be going to Lemore next(which is awesome cause we're in San Diego) on the 27th. He is coming home YEAH!He is AD

Comment by happyfeet(ship 09/Div 288) on October 13, 2012 at 2:26am: Bethr you are not the only 1. My daughter is in Pensacola and has not started A school yet. we text a couple times a week but she won't call me and she hasn't written me any letters however neither have I. I thought since she has her phone that we didn't need to read any more letters but maybe I need to start writing them.

Comment by bethr311 on September 29, 2012 at 4:47pm: My son is not being very communicative since boot camp! Is that a guy thing? I told him I missed his letters from boot camp! He has a computer and cell phone, he says the cell phone service is bad. He just started classes this week and said the time before that was a lot of briefings. Being a mom I want to know about everything: food, weather, bugs, laundry, roommate, etc. Anyone else have a sailor at Goose Creek SC?

Comment by happyfeet(ship 09/Div 288) on September 29, 2012 at 4:28pm: I text with my daughter a lot, but have only had one GOOD phone conversation with her. Seems as though she is stuck waiting to class up to start school! She doesn't do much but clean and stand watch!

Hey BMANSMOM, haven't heard from you in forever!

Comment by BMANSMOM(ship09DIV288) on September 23, 2012 at 6:23pm: My sailor is doing great. He found out that he will be heading to the fleet a lot sooner. He seems very happy. I love being able to talk and skype with him. I hope everyone is doing well.

Comment by QuestioningSerenity on September 23, 2012 at 6:08am: Two weeks have flown by so fast, and it's wonderful to hear from out Sailors more often. So hows everyone doing? Your sailors?

Comment by happyfeet(ship 09/Div 288) on September 14, 2012 at 12:26am: Can you guys believe the next PIR is already here?!?! WOW how time flies!!!

Comment by Page ship 09 div 287 9-7-12 on September 13, 2012 at 11:50pm: Brendano! Yes my Sailor is in San Antonio Corps schools ;) Feel free to message me!
