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."

Yes, it was great to hear his voice. Like all of you - ready for that first letter. Saw on the RTC site that someone from the same ship had spoke with their SR and he had said he was receiving letters. Nice to know that, hopefully, my SR is getting mail. Fingers crossed for that letter!

We got letters no calls

Iwish I could have gotten an update through my SR, because he called me on Sunday(7/17) just to tell me he messed up the receivers address(mine) and that his box and form letter were being returned to him. It was a very quick call and I couldnt even ask how he was doing, but, he did tell me he loved me.. Also, at that point in time he didnt have any of my letters yet, but I'm guessing he asked me why he hadnt received any of my letters because they had been getting mail call, and I assume thats daily. So for those of you who have been sending letters before me(I didnt get his address until exactly a week ago, when I sent my first letter) your SRs should have received them.
Good Luck to all of you! Were getting close to connecting with our SRs again!
