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 SR said BS was the week of graduation, but apparently we're all getting different responses so who knows?!? :) No news is good news! We will all be praying that everyone continues to do well. Apparently the div overall is doing really well. My SR didn't think they would make Honors Div, but they have a good chance of making one of two special designations below Honors. They have somewhere around 3-4 flags which is good!
Susie -- My SR said he knows a kid who has a mom that I talk to on N4M who 'must be as crazy' as I am. Apparently, my family thinks I have a problem when it comes to N4M and they were threatening an intervention long before my son left for BC. If it was your son my SR was talking to, you must have the same addictive symptoms I had, lol! What those kids don't realize is how much more relaxed I felt letting go than I did when he first signed up--thanks to N4M!!!

I know exactly what you mean. My husband was wanting to disconnect the internet here at first, because all I did at first was to read the posts and what not on N4M, even at 1 and 2 AM in the mornings. But he settled down a little and I guess I became sleep deprived and was able to sleep at night after the first 2 to 3 weeks. BUT yes it is probably my son making fun of me, at least he doesn't think I forgot about him. (ha,ha)
As far as the call, he has always called my cell which I keep with me religiously, so I hope all is ok! I keep telling myself that no call is just as good as no call (that way he can't say he didn't pass something) RIGHT! He laughed at me when he was able to call the first time, I started with is everything ok? Of course he said "yes". I just worry because he said he was sick last week with a fever. So, I keep my phone charged and with me at all times.

By next Tuesday, we'll just be THREE days away from seeing them in person!!! I can't wait. I received a division T-shirt this past week and plan on wearing it next week to work in support of them during BS. It'll be my version of the blue candle. :)
