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."

Comment by JENN 226 on May 18, 2010 at 10:57am: yay only 38 days.. I am so glad .. its was only 7 weeks for me since Travis left the 4 of May , I know its only a week but hey...it is better then 8 ...

Comment by Jodi Cory's Mom(Ship 09 Div 223) on May 18, 2010 at 9:35am: Well that is good news to hear they did write letters. I will let the family know we should hear something this week. I am so looking forward to graduation.
Just counting down the days. My husband says I'm silly but it helps me know it's right around the corner. Cory is my baby and this is so very hard for me.

Comment by annafornavy on May 18, 2010 at 8:46am: Kylesproudmom- I have heard nothing from my son. We should be getting letters this week. One of the recruits that is graduating 6/25 called his mom yesterday with dental issues and she asked him if if wrote a letter and he said yes on Sunday... SO THAT GIVE ME HOPE... We have to get A school info from our kids. I talked to my sons recruiter last night and he said they have a pre A School set up before they go to boot camp but so many things change once they arrive at boot camp and they put them somewhere else instead of what they enlisted for. Because they see strengths in them and would be better placed in another job.. I hope this helps...

Jodi: I know your pain my dearest.. I had an awful weekend.. My youngest son said mom you need to stop tearing yourself up over this.. : ) I said I just miss him Parker... He wrapped his arms around me and just let me cry... Because I know he misses him so much as well...

Comment by Jodi Cory's Mom(Ship 09 Div 223) on May 17, 2010 at 8:08pm: Well it is week three that Cory has been gone and I can't believe how much I miss him and STILL wonder everyday what he is doing. I find myself keeping busy or I cry. I just hope this week I get a letter from him. I can't wait to come home from work and check the mail..... Still nothing. Sunday my oldest son told me how much he missed his brother and wondered how he was doing. So please let us get a letter this week.

Comment by annafornavy on May 17, 2010 at 4:36pm: They say mail arrives on Wed or Thur from our recruites every week... PLEASE LORD LET IT BE WED.... I cant stand this anticipation anymore.. I need his letters to keep me going... I am running on empty and I am climbing the walls in my heart...

Comment by rescue_342002 on May 17, 2010 at 4:33pm: I also hope to here from wife this week. All be stocking my mail lady this week. It has been so long. I wish it was june 25 th already. I hopefully y' all will here from your love ones to this week.

Comment by SumiK0125 (wife of a Nuke MM) on May 17, 2010 at 12:09pm: JENN~ I have high hopes too!!.. i actually recieved a letter last saturday, but it was just a bunch of forms to get my military ID and health stuff going...i got all excited and opened it to be pretty bummed out...hopefully we all get a REAL letter this week
lets not stalk the mailman too much though lol

Comment by JENN 226 on May 17, 2010 at 10:23am: So I know its only monday but I Have high hopes that soon we will receive a letter, unfortunetly I live in Canada so mine will probably take longer:( but hey... never know!

Comment by annafornavy on May 16, 2010 at 9:24pm: mamabear: I feel the same way... I sometimes wonder if I love my boys to much too.. I know I raised them right... I was their friend but when I had to pull out the MAMA stick they knew they better get in check. I always told them if they wanted to start traveling the wrong path that was not a good idea. I would send them to military school and I would see them twice a year Thanksgiving and Christmas.. They both admitted to me now that they knew I would back up my big mouth.. So it kept them on the up and up.. Plus they both played 3 sports in high school so that helped too. : ) The stories and adventures our children will have by being a Sailor will be amazing and I am so excited for that...

Cheryl: YES 5 weeks and we are all going to be in GL doing the happy dance together at the Ramada the night before and after graduation. That is so HILARIOUS on the hose... : ) Thank goodness she is a friend and loves you through your moments. Poor Dustin has a couple of letters or should I say novels that I have written him he will have to put them aside and read them when he is going number 2 if they allow them any time to do that.. ; ) It is a relief when you know others are writing and loving him and supporting him right along with you... That makes our hearts smile...

Comment by mamabear5 (CVN65) on May 16, 2010 at 8:30pm: ANNA- God knows I understand how you feel,I miss my boy,I wonder some times do I love him tooooo much? I know his future is bright and the world is his, but he's my world,and after 19 years of loving him and having him in my life to just say Ok, it will all be alright....well some times its hard to believe.
as always you & Dustin are in my prayers!
