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."

SHIP 07 DIV 127
Got my husband's form letter on Monday, March 5. It was postmarked on March 1, so I'm thinking it takes about 2-3 business days to get from there to Austin, Texas. Hope that's helpful for anyone.
If anyone else's loved one is in this ship/division, please let me know. He's an AECF. I don't want anyone to go without letters so I was going to ask him if there was a particularly lonely recruit and organize some sort-of letter writing campaign so no one feels left out.

This division with 128 should be the first to go through BattleStations. Does anyone have a confirmed date? I have an idea...and it is coming up soon. Please private message me if you have heard a date. Thanks! Please do not post on this site as we are not allowed to post actual dates on N4Moms...only private messages.

Hello Ladies, we are 6 more days!!!! We should all be getting phone calls this afternoon from our "Sailors", I'm so excited and keep carrying my phone with me waiting for it. Got a letter from son yesterday, said that they should have gotten another phone call last Friday, but again some of the guys were screwing up. I hope they got their act together. You would think by now they should know what's going on! Can't wait see all of our loved ones next week in their uniforms.

THE CALLS ARE COMING NOW......MY SON'S GIRLFRIEND GOT THE CALL AND SO DID MY MOTHER-IN-LAW. SHE SAID THAT HE PROBABLY WON'T BE ABLE TO CALL ME AND HIS DAD BECAUSE THERE IS A BIG LINE TO USE THE PHONE. THAT SUCKS........I WANT TO HEAR MY SON SAY HE IS A SAILOR. NOT BY HEARING IT FROM HIS GIRLFRIEND AND HIS GRANDMOTHER. I'M BEING GREEDY AND I DON'T CARE RIGHT NOW I JUST WANT TO HEAR FROM HIM.
WE WEREN'T SURE WHERE HE WAS GOING FROM THERE AND HE DID TELL HIS GRANDMOTHER THAT HE WILL BE GOING TO VA FOR 5 WKS AND THEN HAS A 2 WK LEAVE. I PLAN ON HAVING HIM BY MY SIDE THE ENTIRE 2 WKS!!!!!!!!!
