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."

The Navy must have boxes upon boxes of wisdom teeth (gross). It sounds like a few of our children are having them out. My son mentioned that in the three lines of the form letter. Poor things.

Is anyone flying? I'm in Boston and since I havent heard from my son yet I haven't booked a flight. I know that his PIR could change at anytime due to illness, injury what have you but when is it safe or when should I purchase tickets. When I look at like expedia it says no refunds and that any changes will cost $150. Thats crazy its almost the price of the ticket. What should I do?
