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."

Oh, it's my husband but i'm pretty sure we are feeling the same way :( I miss him more every single day. Yes, I have my family with me (mom, dad & siblings), plus my work is keeping me super busy. What I did is i made myself an 8-week calendar and just filled it with activities, like dinner with friends, doctor appointments and stuff. Even to the tiniest thing like laundry and costco, haha! Just to keep my mind busy, thinking that i have "so much to do" (when i really don't). Read lots of books and surf the internet for lots of information. Start planning for graduation. Who knew that coordinating flights for a group of 6 would be that hard?!
How are you? Do you have family with you? I read that he's your only child, must be that real hard. :(

That’s funny because the day after he left I was at target getting my calendar, colored pens, paper & cards. I’ve been writing to him a lot. I’ve also just finished my ribbons for graduation. My family is about 40 minutes away & I’ve been spending as much time as I can with them. Yes my son is the only one, I’ve had my ups & downs, not only am I waiting for a letter or card from my son, but also an email or call from my husband he’s on a ship in Japan right now. I‘m hoping he’ll be home soon… Totally understand about fights, we have 5 people going, I booked the hotel already just waiting for my dad to get the days off to book our flights… I’m so proud of him & excited for graduation!!!

Hi Everyone! I too am at a loss as what my son is doing in this division. He definately is not a singer and does not play an instrument. Must be some kind of drill team with flags, rifles? He too played football his entire childhood so this is driving me CRAZY wondering what he's doing! I can't wait for a phone call or letter! I had no idea he would volunteer for this division. So proud already! My son left from Los Angeles on 5/15.

Got another letter from my son today. He said things are still hard but he's getting used to it. He still made no mention of what it is 935 does. If anybody finds out let us know. He also said that everyone was really pumped when they got mail so keep writing your sailor, it makes a big difference! Have a good weekend.
