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."

We don't want to accidentally overlook any of them or you.

Hang in there!!!

We are planning on visiting our son for Christmas Day. Look forward to getting no know other parents in this division and hearing all about our son's boot camp experience. We will be attending Sarge's meet and greet too.

We are heading out for a quick Christmas Day visit as well.  I am guessing that chain restaurants ill be open then.  Poor staff, but so glad to have a place to feed my son some non-military food.  Have you heard anything about what might be open in the area?

My son is ship 11 DIV 045 and I have to say he raves on the food. I found it odd because he comes from a fabulous cooking family and figured food would be awful to him. His most recent notes have not been as upbeat, so I am ready for him to get a nice visit from us.

Anxiously waiting to hear from my son... my other son had PIR last weekend and is now in Pensacola. I really can't wait for boot camp to be finished!

Hi Ladys my son is in 046. I got my first letters today. He sounds really good. Hope you all get letters soon. 

My son is in the same, hope to meet you. Vicki

I will be at the sarge meet and greet too.

I hope to go to Sarges meet an greet. Depends on when I fly in.

Where did you find out about meet and greet? My husband and father in law fly up for christmas and we both go back for graduation. What time will they have to spend Christmas?
Has anyone gotten any calls today? Or letters yet!!??
Just got a 20 minute phone call from my son. Sounded great and it was snowing. It was wonderful to hear his voice. Made my day !!!!
