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."

My boyfriend is in 292. We have talked twice; last Saturday the 29th and Saturday the 22nd. I've only received 1 letter from him. I think they recieve letters Monday through Friday and send them on Sunday. I didn't receive it til that following Thursday. In the letter he wrote, "Hopefully you get this by Wednesday! Don't forget to check the mail!!" Lol. He mentioned their division is doing well though :)

I've read a couple different posts about Ship 09 Div 291/292 moving ships?
Anyone know why this would be happening? Will our SR address change?
Also if we order challenge coins I guess we need to change that?

If they are moving (which it seems they are) it is probably because of maintenance and remodeling on their current ship, and it is not unusual. Yes, the address will change, but any mail to the old address will be forwarded.

Are both 291 and 292 moving? My SR is in 291 and did not mention it on his call Saturday. I've only seen posts about 292, but was wondering if that 291 was going as well. We didn't send stamps to our SR and chose instead to tell him to focus on studying, ironing, etc. Here's hoping they'll forward all his letters if he's moving over to ship 11. Not sure if/when we will hear from him again.
