OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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."

Just wanted to say Hi this evening. Today a good day here at home

Are you sure it isn't on the form letter Tracy...go to your discussion group up above and put a shout out in there and someone else from your division will help you out I think!
TCarp...I would be careful about saying anything to your hubby at this point. He may not know yet and it might give him added stress. They will tell him when the time is right. I know that is added burden for you, but he has so much stress right now that you might want to consider letting him tell you rather than visa versa because he probably won't be able to ask anyone about it...they'll just tell him to hush and they'll get around to it. Does that make sense??

Okay ladies. I have recieved I guess you would say not so good news. My husbands job that he chose at MEPS was MA (cop). Well aparently they are shutting down Lackland (where the training takes place) for a year because there are to many MA's. Well that is just great but where does that leave my husband. I have had this confirmed from 4 different people so it is true but what is the next step now. Any ideas or advice. I am going to write him tonight and hopefully get answers next week or hopefully he calls this weekend and I can just ask on the phone.

Could anyone tell me for sure if I need the extra 4 numbers at the end of the zip code when sending letters? He didn't include it in the letter telling me his address, but I have heard that he won't receive any if I don't have the whole zip.
Thanks!

Hello all, I finally found some numbers I can identify with! My son is S7/Div362, and PIR of 11/05/10. I'm looking forward to meeting some new people that is experiencing the same highs/lows as me. I'm not able to be on N4M's everyday, but I am very glad I found this group.
