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 a letter from my SR today, they did their Marlin Spike and my SR won the Knot tying competition. He say's he has a cold and his missed his run by 18 seconds. I am praying that he will get better and make the next one. They did up their wish list's and he say's they will get their orders after week 6. He sounds good but I can not wait to hug him, I miss him so, he had a birthday last week and it was hard to not have him here for it.

Yay! I got my questionnaire back, too. but he filled it out earlier and mailed it late. So it said they hadn't earned flags yet. Good to know they got flags. He did say they designed their division flag with a battleship, skulls and "Lock and Load".

After two weeks, I finally heard from my sailor today. He said that they had their pictures taken last week and were picking them today. Also said that division 311 is in the running for The Hall of Fame. I only recceived one call this whole time, but it sounds like the RDC is doing a great job at training our boys!
