OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
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."

Yep, write the letters, take them to PIR with you, tuck them into their bag to read later....maybe a "special" one to read on the plane. When they get to A School, they will love having a "little something" from home since they are now once again in a new place.....I wouldn't mail the letters past tomorrow to RTC....hand delivering on 10/1 or around there is much better!

sailor_mom1- Thank you! :) It's really great to be able to talk to you guys, and especially other wives/girlfriends of the SR's! I already feel so much support, and I feel like this is going to get me through the rest.

LTLY - I normally get a deep tissue massage every 2 weeks….. My massage therapist is the best… I went to a massage school today to get one… the girl was great but didn’t take care of my problem… (diff bed and not my desk… )… sore shoulders and back… I will survive tho…..
Welcome BrandonsGirl… I invited my SR’s gf to visit on here too… she is also going to PIR along with her mother… we are sharing a suite and all….
I guess I will try to get one more letter off....

Sailorgirl - Personally, I would send it. I think it would get to him (: But just in case, I'd keep the important stuff to a minimum, just in case he doesn't get it, it won't be a huge deal. But it would probably be fine [:

@sailorgirl-
I don't want to stop writing either...I like your idea of continueing to write, but holding on the them to hand deliver. Especially if they are G&G...would give the something to read on the airplane!
