Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind.  In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships."  OPSEC is everyone's responsibility. 

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'm so happy right now! I just got a 10 minute phone call from my hubs! He was awarded it for having the best folded stack of shirts in the entire division! He's doing excellent, they have their 2nd physical tomorrow and inspection coming up! He's confident, and said he's ready for Hell Week! And said to "bring it on!" LOL.

     Good morning!  I sure hope Santa Claus will forward some of your mail or post it on n4m, William.  That is why I like n4m, I can gather info from everyone and get a little better picture of what is going on there.  Luckily my son was prepared really well, I think, by the recruiting office during his 9 months of waiting for boot camp.  They had him memorize a lot of the stuff before he even left and had group PT weekly.

     Tomorrow is the start of hell week and we probably won't get much in the way of mail but I'm hoping for at least the Sunday letter.

well if hes writing to santa then u know hes being good ;) lol

my fiance said in his last letters they have more time now but he needs more time to study now also so to not expect alot or any letters cuz hes just doesnt have time to write.

If the recruits have mandatory letter writing, my son must be writing his letters to Santa Claus instead of his parents.

Texasmom thanks for the update !! I still haven't received another letter :(. His friend at church today said he got a very short letter-- I don't think he likes to write!! Looking forward to PIR, a old friend of mine just attended his daughters PIR this weekend, they live in Ohio and said it was freezing in Chicago!! Yikes!! Praying for the SRs this week but I have faith they can do it!!

Texasmom - THanks for the info.  We received one letter this week but it was only for us to pass on to my brother(who was also in the Navy)! 

 I am started to get very excited...anxious to hear what here what he chooses for rating(or what gets chosen for him :))  I know they have some BIG weeks coming up for them and my prayers are ALWAYS with all of them!  I know its getting down to the final weeks but I seem to be getting excited for my SR  instead of  being nervous and worried about him. 

Another Hair Cut???Was that before or after pictures?....I guess it has been over a month since they have been at BC!  Wow!
