OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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."

from what ive heard letters from the SRs dont start showing up til the 3rd week at the earliest. and some have gone up to 5 weeks without a phone call. it all depends on how well the division is coming together and their RDCs. my husband wrote in his form letter to not stop writing even if i didnt receive anything from him for awhile bc they dont have much writing time yet. i write every night but still stalking the mail lady :)

My daughter arrived on 8/15 the 2 minute phone call was the worst. Still the last memory I have. Hopefully I will get a letter today. Navywife7211, I am really hoping that I don't have to wait that long for a letter. If I do I will keep on writing.
My daughters friends have been coming over and having letter writing parties, I supply everything needed they just need to show up! I am hoping that she wont have to do too many push ups for getting too much mail, but if so I'm sure she won't mind.

i didnt know they could get too much mail. i send one letter a day andim pretty sure he started getting some bc of the things he wrote in the form letter. he also called tuesday to ask me my dob so i had a 20 sec phone call then and he sounded so much better than he did for his arrival call. im hoping for a letter soon too.

I heard they only get mail on Sundays but I could have been misinformed. My daughter got there a week later than most of the others so maybe she will get mail sooner not sure. I hope I didn't mess up and not send letters because I thought this.

My daughter got there on the 15th so I am hoping that she gets to do mail with everyone else that got there before her.

im pretty sure they receive mail monday through friday, but they are only allowed to write on sundays. once their RDCs see the division starting to come together as a hole they tend to allow them some writing time on tuesdays and thursdays also but that usually doesnt happen til the 5th or 6th week.
