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."

Anyone have a 4yr STG? Everyone I talk to is six-year, and I'd love to hook up with someone who has a 4-year.

Kens Mom: my son called. Apparently our sons racks are right next to each other. So it was your son that is going to SGT with my son. I hope you get a call. They got an extra call as a reward for doing well on a test!

My son graduated from A school on July 23. Sometimes more than one class runs concurrently, so your son shouldn't have to wait long. And don't forget about life in the Navy - "Hurry up and wait!" And San Diego is GREAT; the school is in a great location.

Sitting around and waiting for A-school is killing my son! He is ready to get started. Arrived from GL on July 9th! Still no word on when they will start. Had ATT training in GL.
