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."

Im the girlfriend. His parents got the call that he made it to bootcamp the first night. and then his box came in last monday and on tuesday the note with his PIR and all of that information on it.
I think he said that he would be able to make another call either this week or next week back home. and hopefully letters soon to come also!

Got our first letter today! Yay! He said it's pretty intense, they're going 16-17 hrs a day. They're given 10 minutes to eat, the entire division of 87 has 20 minutes to shower. They workout about 3 times a day, most in full camo and boots. He's making some friends, says the guys in his division are really cool. Now I can sigh a sigh of relief. He sounds just like himself.

Keep by your phones! If you havent already gotten a phone call be ready for one! My SR called today for 5 minutes. He said everything is going well, he is doing good and he is excited to graduate. He also said that starting either this thursday or next thursday they should be able to have another 30 minutes to write letters now on Thursdays in addition to their Sundays.
It wasn't much but that phone call made everything so much better!
They are halfway done! (: only 30 days left!

We got a call too! Said their group got a flag for doing well on some test. This was a good thing! He's worked harder than he's ever worked before at this level of intensity. He's worried that he won't pass his running test but I know he'll do fine. Said they are week 2-day 5. He said he's stayed healthy. Got 2 wisdom teeth pulled last week, and is still a little sore. It was so good to finally hear his voice.

hearing his voice is deffinetly the best part, when my SR called I wasn't expecting to hear his voice, so I was so confused when I heard it and I wasnt sure how to react until he said my name and asked if I was okay.haha
