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."

I got a letter today well--so proud of him--he got marksman which is very impressive cause I've never seen him shoot a gun before--lol He said he has 2 medals now and is very excited about the coming week and the phone call on the 18th to tell me he gone from a recruit to a Sailor --He also had to get different size clothes because he had lost 3 inches in his waste and 17 total pounds thus far...he said he was finally getting his 6 pack abs lol --I just love these letters --when I get them I open them right away in the driveway and cry and laugh and hoot and holler --He hasn't mentioned the flags as yet, so don't have any of that information, but it sounds good
Sooo I got four letters today and do you guys remember saying that Chase got voted honor recruit in Div 110 and had to go up against the 9 other recruits who also got voted honor recruit from the 9 other divisions and face the board of officers, master officer, and senior chiefs well....MY SR WON!!!! I literally cried when I read these words. I had been waiting for this letter:) The title would be "Military Order of World Wars Award"! He's lost 10 pounds and his body fat is 15%
He also mentioned that chief turned on ludacris and some of the guys had a dance battle! Lol
Barbara-From what chase tells me, it seems that they are doing awesome!!! :) I hope i've sent some kind of relief to you
Karen-Thank you soooo much!! It warms my heart just thinking about all his accomplishments so far in this past month and a half :) He talks non stop through out the entire letter about getting engaged in the next couple weeks, so im wondering if he's up to something i dont know about!!!
