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."

Aaron did get to keep his wallet, so if Happy Gilmore left with one, he should be okay. Aaron also said that they took half the cost of their gear out of this month's salary and half will come out next month (about $1,400 total!!!). If Alex has an ATM card, he would have access to the money he has earned (or what little is left!).

I would imagine that yes, there are a few making plans for liberty if they know each other are solo. And I will of course understand that would be his first choice ... but wanted him to have a back up opportunity. I am pretty sure Aaron wants steak that first night on liberty.

Let's stay in touch.

Hey! Does your son go by Alex? He is welcome to hang out with us if he wants. We will be there all weekend, leaving on Sunday evening. Aaron's dad, my other son, me, and my parents will be there. But he may have other people he would prefer to be with. Just let him know that he is welcome.

I adopted four other recruits (2 girls and 2 boys) two weeks ago when Iris was heading that up. I sent out another card to them today and it dawned on me that if they don't have anyone writing them AT ALL ..... I wonder if they don't have anyone coming to graduation .... or even worse, no one to call to say "I'm a Sailor". So in today's card I mentioned that if they need someone to call with that all important message, they were welcome to call me and gave them my number. I hope that isn't presumptuous of me, but I thought it was better to offer and them not need someone ..... than to not say something and they have no one to call.

I imagine Craig will take pictures for you, but if not, I would be happy to if we can hook up with Alex, or Alexander. You need pictures!!!

Hi LynB. Thanks for your son's name - I'll include it in my letter today. I was thinking of you this morning around this discussion of cut off times for mailing letters -- and how impactful that is for you in Australia. Guess you could email them to your mother and she could still print them and mail then for you for a little while longer.

My son's name is Aaron Jennejahn. I loved how you wrote your son's name as they now write it. Do you know how we would address them after they graduate? It must have something to do with their rate ...... I still have so much to learn.
