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."

I have a question. Are we only Ship 09. Is Div 139 & 140 the brother divisions. Are there other Ship 09s and we are Divisions? I am just confused on this. Love to meet everyone.

Proud4son: I believe there is only one SHIP 9, but I could be wrong. I am still trying to learn about the brother divisions. Is your son in Div 139 or 140? My son mentioned in his letters that he has made some friends.

My son said he made some friends with the first initial of last name A, K and S. Would these possibly be any of yours? Also, he made a friend with a bunk mate that knows his bible. He has not mentioned his name yet.

Hi amydria, I will ask my son if his friend is from charlotte nc. That would be so awesome if that is the case. How sweet that he misses his little brother the most. How old is his little brother? My son misses his little sister but not sure that he misses her the most. lol How old is your son? Is he going to A school in San Antonio?

My oldest is 18 and the lil guy is 6.
He will be going to A school in Pensecola. He wants to be a 'crippy' as they call it. Cryptograher or something like that.
Still hoping I will be able to talk to him this week. All I got was 3 minutes last week.

My son's names starts with a J he is in Division 140. For some reason I didnt get a letter today and it would be his third letter to me. I know they way no news is good news but a mom's mind sure can wonder. My son in 25 and he will be at Great Lakes for A school as Machine Repairman, MR
This is his first time away from home and its hard on me> I know he is 25 but he was kind of late bloomer to get out of nest. I am proud of him lol my address name but sure would love to hear from him. I missed his call last week.
