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."

My boyfriend left june 2nd... Anybody hear anything yet? Box? letter?

The few leaving last week weren't quite as active so you may learn the most on the Boot Camp Moms group. They've been asking questions there, but we're more than happy to help you here too. If he's sending The Box to you, you should get it really soon...and the form letter as well. Once you have the form letter, you'll have his address and can send off all those letters you've been writing. It really is their lifeline. As one woman said it, when she went through BC and was having an awful day, messed up, got screamed at, felt as low as low can be...as soon as she received a letter from home, her whole attitude changed and she was happy and feeling positive again. Remember, keep your letters as positive as you possibly can. Now is a time to support them and not worry about 'us'. We come to this site and whine about 'us', lol. :)

ElleBee - it is young mothers like you who are willing to raise their children alone (if only for a short time) to allow their husbands to serve that have all of my respect. I can't feel sorry for myself when you are the one who is sacrificing and you are on here helping others. Thanks to you and your husband for your service.

I do think of both of my boys as my babies. I am, however, oddly calm. Sam is 27 and I thought I let go a long time ago but I never realy did. We've been through so much with him over the years and almost lost him 3 different tiimes so I guess going into the Navy isn't having the effect on me that everyone expected, including me. Enjoy your babies - they grow way too fast.
