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."

We got a phone call. I hope that everyone in this division gets their phone call!!!!!!!!! She was told she had an hour, but we got about 20 minutes and then she suddenly had to go. I am grateful for what I did get though. Crossing my fingers for all of you now.

Yay!!!! It looks like we all got a phone call. Ours was 30 minutes and ended abruptly as well. She told us she is a "grad and go" but she will be in great lakes for A school. I guess I should start reading up on that. I hope everyone received a call..

I agree. If it's something everyone can benefit I post it both places. If I have some big question I'll ask. Otherwise, don't worry about us. We're just fine. And Yes, I got a phone call too. He said they finally got their marching down! Yippee! And my boy, so proud of keeping his rack up, let his bunkmate put his clothes away while he was doing his job and the shirt buttons were not buttoned. FAIL! He said it was a very, very good lesson. Double check someone else's work is to your standards too. Yea! I love to hear that he's learning and growing.

We didn't get the phone call this week , but the gf did and she called to tell us what he had to say. It was all good. Received a letter today. Here's the gist of it: The hardest part is getting up at 5 a.m. and showering in 2 minutes. The best part is the food - lots of it, but not enough time to eat it all. It was 25 degrees last Saturday. He has made lots of friends, but no one from our area. So far, all of his letters have been upbeat and he seems to be doing well. Hope that's the same with everyone else.

Anyone get Adopt-A-Sailor letters for Christmas? The public affairs officer said PIR Jan. 7 and Jan. 14 will be eligible. I wonder if they hold it back if they aren't performing well enough? I suppose they could. If they mailed them today they won't arrive until Wed-Friday and are due back the 15th. Not much time, you know. I'm beside myself wanting to know if I get to spend Christmas Day with my boy.
That's right Suzi. This is preparing us for their navy tours, or careers, just as it's preparing them. -
