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."

My candle is burning! So excited this is almost over. I got a letter yesterday. The gas chamber sucked but was over pretty quick and the effects went away pretty quickly as well. She's complaining about the cold, said to be sure to bring jackets. And said this week was going to be busy, with inspections, tests, final PFA, drills and Battlestations. She was freaked out and stressed because she still needed to pass her run and she wanted to pass everything so she can graduate on time. She said she was determined to do well because she wants to see us (myself and siblings) very badly. I'm praying all has gone and will continue to go well. No phone calls, so I can believe that is good.
And yes, meagmommel, my SR is a daughter and she is also going to FL Saturday. I know they leave for airport at 0200, but last I heard she did not know when what time her flight left. I hope they are friends and can support/lean on each other in FL.

Ladies, make sure you bring a coat with you to PIR. I mean something warm! It has been fairly nice mid-day but the mornings are in the 40s! So when you are standing in line for PIR and you are right next to Lake Michigan, it will be really cold.

You said it the correct way the first time bring a coat lol. At least for us Floridians :)
