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."

Ok, its Saturday. No call, as of yesterday. Its going into week 3. I understand they are taking the PT test in the 3rd week. Would love to hear he passed something???? 07/290. Anyone heard from their son yet or got a letter? Let pray for our division. The wait is getting to me. I know, no new is good news. I heard some got teeth pulled. My son never had dental issues. Heck has a beautiful set of teeth. I am praying he is doing fine. Just want to hear his voice then I will know he's ok. I am a praying woman, and this really is a test of my faith. Hope I get a letter today or a phone call.

Got letters Thursday. He seems to be doing well. One of his buddy's in his Div has ran into some huge problems, now they are trying to discharge him. It's a mess I pray for him and his family. As I continue to pray for all the SR to continue to push and find they strength to get through another week.

Good to hear somebody from our division is communicating. Question? What is PFA and IT? Is this the Physical /training Test? Hopefully the whole division feels that way. I'm so glad to hear your son is enjoying it.

Wamom,
So is the other divisions receiving mail quicker or other SR's in our div? I was hoping for a call this weekend. I know they were suppose to pull my sons wisdom teeth so I have really been worried about him. -

No they told us before he left that they would pull them as soon as he got there. I have had 1 call from him like a week and half into it just saying he was ok and doing good. Didn't really have time to ask any questions. I guess he must have been awarded a call for something but it was really short.
