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 diannep on December 30, 2011 at 12:09pm: Too funny, Lala. My son's fav thing that I sent him was pics of the dogs...so they seem to really like letters/pics of the animals!

Good morning all!

Comment by KIM756 on December 30, 2011 at 12:00pm: Lala that is hilarious! Thanks for the laugh this morning! :)

Comment by Lani on December 30, 2011 at 11:56am: Thanks for the idea. Our cat Tux will be writing a letter too.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 30, 2011 at 11:22am: Yay for the calls :-)

The letter to my Sailor from our cat was hilarious. Our cat is huge and needs to looses some weight and when our Sailor was home she was in charge of feeding him. She kept the bowl full all the time. I talked to the vet and had "special" food and was measuring out what he could have twice a day. The cat "Shadow" was not happy with his rations and kept going to my Sailors bedroom door begging for food. So the letter told her that since she left we have been starving him to death and we don't understand his needs and she needs to get back here or at least talk some sense into us. He went on to say that he knew she was all grown up and needed to spread her wings like "charlie" (our bird) but he couldn't understand why she left him behind with people who don't understand his needs. And, he knows how much she loves shoes but did she really need to go to camp just to get some boots? They do sell those at the mall right? lmao it was the funniest letter and she loved it hahaha

Comment by winterrosebud (Ship 12 Div 053) on December 30, 2011 at 11:01am: Good morning everyone. Hope you guys get some letters or phone calls from your SR. :)

Comment by Trisha(Ship12Div054)Michael<3 on December 29, 2011 at 11:05pm: I got my 4th letter today! :) Just in time. Things have been so crazy with stuff at home, I'm missing him. BUT we are halfway there. :)
Anyways, just wanted to share my good news. I miss my man. <3

Comment by KIM756 on December 29, 2011 at 9:44pm: Woohoo! Just got 3 letters from my SR!!! I am one happy mama!! He's doing good which really makes me feel better!

Comment by mama c on December 29, 2011 at 8:55pm: Got a call tonight too! He sounds great, seems to really like it. He was able to talk to all of us for a few minutes each. He said he enjoys all the letters. They don't have very much time to write, but he says he writes every Sunday (even though he said he probably wouldn't write!) So happy to hear his voice!

Comment by AngelW (Ship 07 Div 060) on December 29, 2011 at 8:09pm: I just got a phone call!!! He sounded so good, he said he loves it and he has made really good friends! I just realized that as we are talking, so are our SRs. The friends are your sons and fiancé. I am so happy!!!

Comment by Lani on December 29, 2011 at 7:39pm: Omg. Just got a call from 12/058. My son sounded great besides having bronchitis. The call lasted about 10 wonderful minutes. SO HAPPY :)
