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."

The answer to this question is complicated...if they are grad and go .... you have to take it to them at the airport and pass it to them there...along with their computer if you want...if they are in Great Lakes then I think they take take it back with them during liberty...if they are on hold...then you have to mail it to them when they get to their destination.

There is a discussion on this very topic...just hit view all in lower right hand corner next in the discussion box where you found this discussion...it's on the 3rd page about 5 discussion topics down...once you enter it, go down to Amelia/Grumma(Ship7/Div356/PIR 11/5) posted on Sept 21...there is an underlined web site for Anastasia's.

I'm a happy Mom! We just hung up with him. He sounded great and he really enjoyed talking to his twin brother and his sister. He said he has a good bunk mate and that helps. We couldn't tell him enough how proud we are of him. We really try to keep his spirits built up even if he doesn't sound like he needs it. More tests for him next week. We told him that we would pray him through. Hopefully you will get a call pretty soon. Hang in there.

Hi Twin,
Happy mom here too. She called shorly after I posted...sounds good but tired. Passing all tests. Just finished small arms, Drilling ALOT, preparing for PIR. Seems a little concerned about her final PFT this Wednesday....says she does a little different test from everyone else. SpecOps includes a 500 yd timed swim and pull-ups. Her group of 9 SpecOps girls has shrunk to 7 due to medical issues...one of them was her friend. :(. Sooo, I think she's concerned about keeping up down the road in "A" school. I hope she can come tosome peace with that... -

Happy Mom here too! 4letters and a call tonight! How great is that? She is doing great! It's amazing the difference a few weeks make! If you all haven't done a questionnaire, they are really good and from what my daughter said, she is enjoying doing them! I just did another one and am getting it in the mailntomorrow, this one is a bit humorous and hopefully will make her laugh a bit answering the questions.
She passed all her tests so far... Said she has another one this week and several different tests and such over the next two weeks. Tomorrow is picture day!!!
Hang in there Mom's! We will all get to meet each other in a little over 2 weeks! I'm booked at the Ramada from the 4th to the 6th. Can't wait to get there!!! -

Waiting for a BattleStations date from 362, so if any speak to their recruits, please ask (start date, not finish date---it is an overnight drill) Then post on the 11/5 main board so that I can put it in the BattleStations schedule discussion. 362 will be going with 361 (brother divisions), but could have others with them. So post if you hear!
