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."

Got another letter from my daughter today. She is currently on light duty. Very bad sore throat and cough. I miss her. Just wanted to hug and hold her. I hate it when my children are sick and I can't help! She is still liking BC very much. Stated she is getting through PT.

PIR is getting closer and closer for this PIR group. I still can't believe September is half over, Here is just a heads up, I am working on the ribbons for your PIR group, I have several that I haven't received the payment for so if you ordered and forgot to send your payment please remember to do that :-) I will begin mailing ribbons for this PIR group in just a few days. If you have any questions at all send me a message or a friend request. Thanks so much!!! Lala

We are still getting regular letters from our son, in which he usually sounds upbeat and positive. However, he must have the cold/sore throat that is hanging on and it's starting to get him down a bit... Still, he talks about his 'brothers' and classes and of course PT. I didn't expect we would get the number of letters we have received, but I do think he's missing home and family. Hope all your recruits are well!

Hi joniB, my son too sound pretty good,although he had to get a tooth pulled out last week, so he was down on meds for 2 days and getting much needed sleep he said. But a lll and all prettey good, I average about 1 to 2 largesse a week. And he is counting the days to see family, I am am sure most of our recruits can hardly Waite to see family and familiar faces by now! I think I have chatted with you a couple of time, hope tp see you at The PIR meet and greet. Have a great weekend! Gin

I think our sons have found each other... Jeff (my son) says his buddy says his mom likes to stay informed. ;) We have tried to enlist all family members near and far to send in those cards and letters - to help him get over the down days. I know the days when he doesn't have anything in mail call are sad days for him. He's not a big talker - so I hope they are relying on each other also, to help get through some of their hardest days...

Hi JoniB, sorry for all the missed words, I am on the iPad, and the typing is a little different on this thing, I agree the more letters and cards the better, the days are counting down for all of us. Good luck to all our Sailors. Have a good day. Gina

My son mentioned a new friend of his, was "Gina's son", and I'm sure your son as well. Course there might be other Jeff's, but my son is Ship 9 Div 331. They should all do well with Battle Stations, from what my son says his 'team mates' are awesome guys, and they have one anothers back.
