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 Anita n Ohio on September 12, 2011 at 11:09pm: Sbarber - prayers to those loved ones lost. So sad...

Easy thing to remember on items for SR - while they are still in a "ship", they cannot bring back anything. If their A School is at GL, once they check out of their "ship" and move into their new quarters, they can bring things back after that has happened (the move). If they are flying out on Sat, bring those personal things to them at the airport.

OK, I should be sleeping right now...can't...you know why...I'll be glad when the next 24 hours is over...

Comment by proudmom (311)(HS Corpsman mom) on September 12, 2011 at 10:27pm: Just wanted you all to know. I copied and paste the questionaire that was created and made some modifications of course... Thank you so much for the idea....See my son is not a writer. I had only gotten one letter and they probably made him write it. So I sent him the questionnaire and he filled it out and sent it back...I was so much a happy camper...I came home really to see if the ipad2 that I won came in yet.. This totally tops the ipad...lol Hope to meet you all at the Meet and Greet.

Comment by Robyn:ncnavymom919(12/309) on September 12, 2011 at 8:53pm: Can anyone tell me if your loved one is allowed to take a carry on bag with them to their school? My daughter graduates Friday. Her dad is going to the graduation and will be taking her a bag of personal items. Just wanted to know if anyone knew if that was allowed and what are the specifications?
