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."

Charity - Yes, we're in FL - Melbourne is about six hours south of us. I have a friend who is a pastor at a church down there - and friends who live in Palm Bay. We're staying at the Navy Lodge for PIR.
I had thought about the holiday on Monday - and then forgot about it again. Thanks Dillons Mom for reminding me! Ok - so my day to look forward to for this week is FRIDAY! Which I'm looking forward to anyway because we're riding down to Biketoberfest in Daytona on Saturday! (If all goes according to plan)
clclrt - Josh told us he is Grad-N-Go, however he was reclassified within the last week or two and now we're not sure - hopefully we'll find out in his next letter! -

I wonder why Joe didnt mention if he was grad and go my now. Mrs. B. it sounds like you found out awhile ago. Im sure if Joe was and he knew he would have mentioned it!!

Charity - my son isn't in this division but we didn't hear about when he was going to be sent to A school until his last letter on Thursday so maybe you'll hear in the next letter.

Just got a phone call from Josh!! WOO HOO!! LOL Never thought I'd be so excited about a phone call and yet, I am! He sounded great - of course anxious for bootcamp to be over. He said Battlestations *should* be on October 25 ... got your blue candles ready? lol I guess they still have some academic exams coming up in the next week - Naval History and ...? Bonnie, I think you mentioned them in one of the last letters you received from Billy.
Cindy - I asked Josh about Dillon. He said he seems to be fitting in with the division - and he said they were hanging out together just yesterday!
Ok - now I need to get back to the "real" world. Laundry and cooking supper awaits! HOO YAH!! lol -

Joe said the same things... ready for it to be over... Dillon is doing well... didnt get to talk long because he called his mom and brother first and was calling my mom next.... BUT he said he would call me with his I'm a Sailor Call!!!!! :) I cant wait!!!!
