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."

I got the 2nd letter last Thurs but he thought I didn't get the first one so the content of the letter was the same as the first letter. So nothing new to report. Hopefully this Thursday will get a letter with something new. I'm thinking this is hell week for them so maybe they are too busy to get to call?

Hello everyone. My name is Suzette and my son is in ship 14 div. 344. He is 18 and the youngest of 3 children. This is the first time he has ever been away from home but I have found with letters it gets a little easier each week. I miss not being able to talk to him or text him so now I wait patiently by the mailbox on Thursdays. Right now he is undesignated and his A school will be in GL. According to his last letter, after that he will go to either Va. or Fl.

Hello Suzette. My son is also in Div 344 and will be at GL for A school as machinist mate. Doesn't know yet where he will be after that. My son in 18 also, but he is the oldest of the kids. Definitely not as hard now as the first two weeks were, but sure am looking forward to 10/19!

Hello Jenny M's mom. This is the second time I have been through this. My middle child(daughter) joined the National Guard right after high school. It was hard then but even harder now because she got to call home more often. My daughter took advantage of battle buddies so if someone in her div. needed to call home she went volunteered to go with them so she could call me. It doesn't seem to work that way this time so I look forward to letters and pray for phone calls. Yes I am looking forward to 10/19. We were going to fly up but decided to make the 13 hour drive instead. I can't wait to see my son and spend whatever time we have with him.

We're driving too, but not nearly as far (7.5 hrs) Since they have A school in GL they are supposed to get liberty all weekend, so we are staying until Monday morning. He's looking forward to catching up on sleep in the hotel room :) We've gotten one phone call. Have you received any yet?
