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."

Hi Navy Mom-nc, We just heard from our SR that he is in Ship #2 Div 916. That's Ship Staff/Honor Guard right?
Finally I've got a mom to communicate with. Will be waiting to hear from you.

Has anyone received calls from their SR? I haven't heard anything, just the The Box and Form Letter so far.

My son Zac is in 2/916, as well. I could not believe how grown up he sounded when he called, even though it was just for a few minutes for additional info for his security clearance. I missed the first call, but luckily he called right back. But now I can listen to the voicemail again and again when I want to hear his voice.

My SR boyfriend is also in ship 2 div 916. I just got his address a few days ago. Haven't spoken to him since he landed at the airport! I'm hoping to be able to attend the PIR :)

Nice to meet all of you. My son is in this same div. I received a letter yesterday. He sounded so good! He asked for addresses and pictures, which I am mailing out right away. I was excited to see what his division is. I can't wait to see him on the 8th. We will be staying at the Ramada Inn.

My son is ship 02 div 916. Got his form letter last week and I got a letter from him yesterday. So excited, but no phone calls yet. Should I send him a phone card?

They tell me that need them to call but that they can buy them at the NEX. I was able to get some from callsforrecruits.org. They were free, they just asked if we could donate, if not ok too. and that they recruit share 2 with another recruit that does not have one. Chances are, someone will pass one on to your SR. I too got a letter, on Friday. I was so excited. Are you able to make it to the PIR?
