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."

3rd week in and just recieved letters!!

Yeah!!!!! I recieved my son's 1st letters yesterday almost 3 weeks to the day, so moms and dads that are still waiting hang in there!! His comic humor really made me laugh and I took it as a good sign. He called the rdc's similar to satin but in human form, lol!!! His letter was actually really funny, though I know deep down it's the hardest thing to date he's done at 18 1/2.Have not gotten the phone call yet, though my phone is glued to my hip. I did notice he was originally in ship 09 div 249, and now he is on ship 03 w/ same division, so from what I've read they have combined them. He will be starting week 4 on tuesday coming up and I have to say it's going quicker then I thought!!! Hang in there every one........mom4life!

Thanks for the encouragement mom4life. By daughter will be gone 4 weeks on wednesday and she is on ship 07 div. 245. I also have not gotten the call yet. But I did get the box less than a week after she left and the first letter just this last week after 3 weeks. Shee seems to be doing good. And seems to be pretty upbeat.
