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 have a friend that is the assistant manager of a place on Magnolia (the Hospital District) Just south of I-30 off Rosedale. It is the happening part of town right now. If that is good for everyone, the first bottle is on me.

I'm south of Fort Worth, my Ft Worth Mom's seem to be Northeast. Anyone want to meet downtown or on Magnolia? I will come to you guys, but I don't know what's over in your direction anymore. Long time since I hung out at the mall. LOL

Mark's mom, You have such a great attitude and are doing all the right things. The letters are critical during the Boot Camp period. The sailors really look forward to receiving them. Keep up the good work! God Bless!

Got the "i'm Here" call @ 1:07 am this morning. Quick, scripted call. Now, awaiting the "box". Miss him like crazy, but very proud, and am replacing the sadness with joy today, because he is going to learn so much, and make new friends. This is a great thing! Also time to get busy writing letters while waiting for his address. The hard part was yesterday, letting go. I pray that he and all of the new SR's just like him, will make the most of the opportunities they have been given, and I pray that the new Navy moms, just like me, will lift up their sons or daughters and encourage them. The last thing I told him after I love you, of course, was do not worry about us, just stay focused, don't worry about us, and take care of business. That made him smile!

My son flew out of Midway to Pensacola on Sunday at 6:30 a.m. back in March 2012. We met him at the airport at midnight and gave him his electronics and some clothes. We were able to get a pass to go through security and wait with him until he boarded. An ID is required to get a security pass.

Thank you Dee and Suzan for the info. He just called from Chicago. Now, on to RTC.

DAR12 - she flew out of O'Hare but some flew out of Midway.
Mark's mom - we got a call very late the night she got there. It was a very short call... probably just a minute or less just to tell us that she got there safely.

Hi Mark's Mom :0) My son left July 2nd and his graduation date(PIR) is August 29th. You won't hear from your son for a couple of weeks but that is a good thing. He will be adjusting and making new friends. The time will go by fast and before you know it he will call you on a Sunday. Hang in there!!!

My son left today and it has been one emotional day. He is now at DFW with a two hour rain delay due to bad weather in Chicago. He had no sleep last night. He said he couldn't. This is also his first plane ride (2x). I told him his bravery and how he is handling things amazes me and if he just stays focused, he will do just fine. He will arrive in Chicago around 10. Will the I'm here call come tonight? I'm sitting on my phone.
