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."

Thank you for opening this group. My son is in 174. It was awesome to talk to him this weekend. He is liking it and still sounded excited. He will have two teeth pulled this week. I can't wait to get his letters.

My SR called today again and I asked him if his division was doing well, seeing as they've had two phone calls already and he said they're the "trouble" division lol GREAT

Glad you got a call today. Sadly I did not. I hope he will call tomorrow!

My SR said he almost didn't call because he said he thought I'd be working. I was like "OMG ALWAYS CALL ME BECAUSE I WILL ANSWER"

I always have my phone on now. It never leaves my hand. Even at work.

Good morning all! My son was transferred from his spec ops division to yours last week. So I wanted to say hello and join the group since he has officially transferred. He was released from spec ops because of a genetic marker. (he had no idea about it, nor has it affected anything ever in his world, they just won't allow him in spec ops because of it)
Not sure when we will get phone calls in this group, but received a letter from him yesterday saying all is well.
I hope to meet some of you at PIR. Enjoying this Navy journey!

He didn't say which one. The address he gave was Ship 13 USS Marvin Shield. I haven't talked to him since he officially transferred.
Hopefully he will be able to call soon. Any ideas when they will get a call??

In my sons letter this past week, he said it would be a few weeks. Tomorrow they will be on 4-2. I am guessing we might not hear from them until the "I'm a sailor" call. However, I sure hope I am wrong!
