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."

Hi and I love to vacation in Colorado. It is breathtakingly beautiful, I researched "Hell" week. Their day starts at 3:45 am and this week they learn more than usual. It actually said it is not as bad as it used to be in the years past.

oh awesome!!

I'm from Lubbock

For those of you that don't know where that is It's in the Panhandle, 2 hours south of Amarillo. Home of Texas Tech. 

I lived in Dallas for 5 years and I was shocked at the number of people that have never heard of Lubbock!

I just got a letter from my SR- !!!  Only a paragraph long and a day later than normal. He also has a bad cold and is in SIQ- (Sick quarters) which I think means he is in relegated to his quarters but not in sick bay...I  sure hope he is better now, since that was as of last Sunday when they can write. He said to pray for the Division as it has been going through some difficult times. He said two more weeks of pushing, then Gold week and then done!

I received a call from SR today. He said that the gas chamber was alot harder than he had thought it would be. Monday will be their last academic test. Studying hard for that. Can't wait for Battle Stations and to be able to make that final phone call. He also found out where he will be stationed after A school in Pensacola. He was pretty upbeat  and getting ready to go practice for PIR.

Remember ladies keep on praying for our young men. 12 days and counting every minute. :)

guess my post didn't work earlier.

But I too got a phone call! and my SR is also going to Pensacola. I think our SR's know each other! He said he was friends with all the guys from Texas!

Mine didn't even mention the gas chamber not sure why, but I also didn't think to ask him about it either.

My SR sounded so much more upbeat this time too! He finally has something to look forward to, graduation!

He couldn't quit saying "Just 2 more weeks" He's so ready for 4/29 to be here!
