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 03 Division 217 !!
We have a division!!! Yay, I am super excited to get to know you all that have our SR's in the same division!
Please introduce yourselves! (no last names :)
I am Sharon. My daughter Erin is 21 and she came to bootcamp from Iowa. I live by myself, work as a dog groomer and I have a broken toe. I miss Erin so much but things are looking up! Got her form letter today. Got an 'I love you :) " on the back! I am so glad to know that Erin isn't alone. She is digging deep and working hard every day, and has your loved ones to help each other, learn from each other, and they are together in missing us like crazy too. And being a veteran, I know, their days are getting better each day too.
Next up.. our phone calls!! Next week? If not for sure the week after!. Looking forward to hearing from you all. Please friend me if ya want!

GOODBYE HELL WEEK!!! It is 5-1 day! Our SR's are starting their next to last full week of training! They can smell the finish line. One very large hurdle left. That final PT test. If anyone hears what day it is going to be on can you post it?? I wonder how the 4th of July holiday will affect their training schedule?

The 4th of July shouldn't affect them at all. I was there over the 4th and we didn't do anything to recognize it.

Hey Sherri! I am doing good. My toe is healing, slowly.. but its getting there! I have heard from Erin. She is doing very well. She has some PFA issues.. but I am confident that when it is their FINAL pt test and the choices are pass or get set back.. she will pull it out!
14 days!! I know!! It will be here before we know it!.. remember the first 14 days? We have come so far! I can't wait to see them!!
Wish I knew what day they were doing their final PT.. anyone have a clue?

The women who recently was trying to figure out when they would run it said that her daughter hurt her ankle in captains cup( which is the saturday before they graduate) and she wasn't going to be able to do the last fitness test..meaning they do the fitness test between Saturday July 7 and July 13. But we were all told I believe by our SR's that they might call on July 10th for the I'm a sailor call (at least that is what kyle said and I heard them yelling at them to say that in the background) so... that would mean they would do their run between Saturday July 7 and Tuesday July 10th. So process of elimination - Sunday they deff wouldn't do it so I'm guessing Monday the 9th?? Does that sound right maybe Tuesday if they don't call on the 10th.

My guess is they will do their final PT on Friday 7/6 and we will get that phone call on the 10th.

My SR needs to dig deep and crank out 5 more push ups to pass. I'm so nervous!
