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."

How well I remember those awful homesick weeks when my grandson was in boot camp. He later told us that the daily doses of letters is what kept him going. He even slept with them. Now that he is in Sub school and has his cell phone, things are much better. We will be visiting with him next month (Aug 21-24) and hope to do a lot of sight seeing crammed into too short a time.

My daughter just finished boot camp and left for San Diego this morning. We are on our way back to Texas now! We live just northwest of San Antonio.

My grandson's HS graduating class had 5 members join the Navy. My grandson was the last one to go to boot camp (he graduated (PIR 6/20/14) and his best friend graduated earlier this year. His best friend is at San Antonio as a Hospital Corpsman also. We live on the Gulf Coast so he is not too far from home either. You are real close by if you live in the Austin area.
