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."

For our Sailors - the Father's Blessing
Numbers 6:24-26 from the NIV

May the LORD bless you and keep you;
The LORD make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you;
The LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.

I especially like it from the Message translation

God bless you and keep you,
God smile on you and gift you,
God look you full in the face
and make you prosper.

May these words ring true for each and everyone of you!

Bummed no mail today, now I know how she felt when she said no mail for 4 days last week and her spirits fell low.
Comment by brittanysmomShip10Div332 on September 21, 2010 at 2:13pm
Here is the actual response I got from the Navy about phone calls just today: U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command Recruits will be given one final phone call home following the completion of their final test, the 12-hour overnight Battle Stations.

More good news, I know everyone has been concerned about sending letters with us so close to graduation. The Navy says that our letters that arrive at boot camp after our SR leaves will get forwarded to their next destination.
Comment by Lilly(JG Corpsman) on September 21, 2010 at 2:07pm
I saw that too..bummer!!!! I was hoping my hubby would call this weekThanks for asking them but you know what? They didn't answer your 1st question which was when should we stop sending them letters....lol...
Comment by Lilly(JG Corpsman) on September 21, 2010 at 2:06pm
Ladies, I think I made a booboo...I put the Contact Lenses in it's case really sealed into a Bubble wrap envelope and put it in the Priority Mail Envelope and had the guy put Fragile all over the envelope and now my friend says why didn't you send it UPS or FedEx? Did I make a "BIG" booboo????
Comment by brittanysmomShip10Div332 on September 21, 2010 at 2:05pm
Hi everyone, I inquired to the Navy to see if our SR will get another call home and I was told after Battlestations all night test they would get to call just before graduation.
Comment by Karen ~ Corpsman Chris' Mom on September 21, 2010 at 2:02pm
My son also confirmed that this week is "Hell Week".
Comment by Karen ~ Corpsman Chris' Mom on September 21, 2010 at 1:59pm
Woohoo ~ I got a letter from my son today. He sounds really good, says he passed his 2nd PFA (90 push ups, 90 some sit ups, & ran 1 1/2 miles in 10:50 min.), He passed both his personal inspection and weapons turnover inspection with a 100%, He said tomorrow (meaning Fri 9-17) he does live fire, (shoots a 12 gage shot gun and a 9 mm pistol) he said he hopes to get at least a sharp shooter on that, because then he would get a ribbon. He said he should graduate with at least 2 ribbons. One for war on terror and another for weapon qualification. He said from what he hears his div. is Grad & Go. He says idk what that means. He wants me to look it up for him and send him info on it. I don't think he has any clue that he's going to be able to spend the entire weekend with us, as long as he doesn't have watch duty since he is staying in GL for schooling. Does anyone know where I can print info out about Grad & Go, so I can send him some info about it. Poor kid probably thinks he's not going to get to spend time with us. Little does he know, that he's going to be able to sleep over at our hotel.
