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."

Julie: Yea!!! Thank you (and your son) for giving us all of this information for Div 12. I haven't heard from our son or any of the postings on N4M that Div 12 had earned any flags. It sounds like they have come together as a unit and are doing very good.

Ladies, we recieved a letter today full of information that I thought that I would share. Sat, 11/13 they got their collar devices for their NSU's (formal uniform?) Mon, 11/16 begins week #5, which includes uniform exchange, anti terrorism class, haircut #3, a NEX run, basic damage control, division photos, fire fighting, vessel damage control, and gas chamber. They have won all 4 flags a division can earn and they are in the running to get the CNO (?) flag, which would make our boys a honor division. isn't that awesome? I am so proud of all of their hard work and team work.
Now? I just need to hear my son's voice. -

That is such great information!!!! Thanks so much. I received a letter yesterday too (gee life has been better with more letters!) but it described my sailor being very sick with fever, sore throat. Said it was the worst day yet at BC especially PT while so sick. Attitude was very good....said by the time I got the letter he would be all better. All in all I believe this division has been doing great. I am less anxious and more excited now!

My prayers will go out to your son for a speedy recovery. I can't imagine being that sick and still needing to perform at a high level.
