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."

I got my first letter on a Thursday, so hopefully you'll get it by tomorrow! Today it's been 3 weeks and 1 day since my husband left, and I got my first phone call! They got to talk for 15 minutes, so hopefully your sailors division is doing good and you will get a phone call in a week or so! Keep your head up ladies!!

My fiance is also in Ship 4 Div 821 =]. I haven't received a letter yet, either. From what I've read we will most likely get a letter this week or next week. I write him everyday and send a letter every other day, which makes me feel a little bit better. I know exactly how you feel, though. I don't want to send him depressing letters either because I don't want him worrying about me and getting distracted, but before he left he told me to write everything I'm feeling and thinking down so we'll feel closer despite him being in a separate time zone. I don't tell him that I wish he was here and I hate that he's so far away because that could make him feel as though I want him to quit, which is NOT what I want. Every day that goes by without him gets harder and harder but I just remind myself that I will hear from him soon; he hasn't fallen off of the face of the earth. Since I live in Florida, it takes about four days for his mail to reach me so I'm trying really hard to be patient. Just try to remind yourself that you'll hear from him soon, even though days feel like weeks, and that his letters will start coming in often =].
