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."

Forgot to tell you...they have had behavior issues in 326..N's letter said that they lost 2 of their phone calls and that they were having to do Intense Training. Also said pink eye is going through the division..Keep writing him..I am sure he is getting the letters and loves to hear from you...Hope you are well.
Hi Julie,
Got a letter from Nathan this weekend...He knows your son..How cool is that?
All good..deleted posts..think I am going to leave pics because they are of his profile and can't really tell what he looks like....
Wondering if we should make notes of our last names and delete posts? Just saw something about not having the recruits last name on here or pictures...
20 minutes north of Holland...Small world. I'm excited about seeing him at PIR and the come home date..going to ask my extended family if we can work Christmas around his leave this year...that would be so awesom.
I am assuming Thomas MA training is 8 weeks as well?? Wonder if they know each other? Where are you from?
