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 my letter on the 9th...and by letter I mean paragraph. Short, sweet and sincere...just like my SR. LOL He's in DIV 011.
I just saw some not so great reviews for the hotel we booked and wanted to ask if anyone is staying at the Navy Lodge. Looks like there are still openings and think I will be switching. Anyone know how to do it? Heard you have to give your SR's name.
I'm excited to see him again. I've sent 20 letters/postcards already. I think they disallow phone service to prop up the Post Offices revenue. I'm heading out tomorrow to get more stamps. Hope you're all hanging in. Hooyah!!

I just booked at Navy Lodge tonight. Ihad some questions so it was easier to call. Asked male or female recruit,not sure why, and their name, along with mine,my phone,address and email, and credit card number. Not charged until that day, call before 6 pm to cancel, and no penalty.
I agree on the Post office. Maybe used one stamp a year until he left. -

Thanks for the information. I'll call them on my lunch tomorrow. Do you happen to have the number handy??

Hi there,
My son is in div 11. Good to meet others here. I haven't made any flight arrangements yet. The difference in fares for a refundable ticket is almost doubled, so I'm waiting a bit.
I haven't received a personal letter or phone call but his girlfriend has. It doesn't sound like they get much time for letter writing. -

My boyfriends is div 11 also. And he said they don't get a lot of time but he was working on one and it would hopefully be sent out Tuesday since Monday was a holiday. So I'm hoping for a letter this week :)
