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."

DeborahRC: Keeping my fingers crossed for a letter too! Don't stress to much about her needing to drop her time down. From what a lot of friends told us (who had been in the military from 20 years ago, to one on leave from the AF) the last thing they want is for these SR's not to pass. They all will keep working on PT, AND she's got others in her division, who are going to be cheerleaders for her, and she'll return the favor when they need her :) Don't worry to much...she'll do great!!
addgrey : THAT IS AWESOME!!! I'm so glad for you!!!! Now you can carry it around, and re-read it a hundred times, like the rest of us :) YAY!

I got my first letter today!! He had the wrong zip code, so I just now got the letter. I never did receive the official letter with his PIR info on it. He told me in a phone call when it was. How important is that letter, and do I heed one?

Good morning ladies! Ohmygosh y'all...I just watched the last 10 minutes, of today's PIR!!! All I can say is have some tissues handy, if that's all you watch. It was awesome to see them all standing at attention, the music, the whole ambiance of it! I'm geeking out here, my SR would be so proud!! So glad some of you received letters, and calls, yesterday :) My baby girl sent me a 6 pager...needed two stamps!! It sounds like things are going well for most of them, besides the homesickness, but they love the letters! I've said this several times (forgive me everyone who has already read this before, but as you can tell it's important to me) to all of the newer members, please consider writing an extra letter, for anyone that doesn't get mail on a particular day. Thank you!! Happy Friday and let's keep our fingers crossed for the 847 area code to pop up on the caller ID!!

@ DeborahRC - Joy is my son's girfriend! Glad that those two are bunkmates!! I got a letter from her a few days ago telling me that she's actually have fun and wasn't as bad as what she thought!

Is anyone else having trouble getting the posts on their email? I look forward to that "ding" all day long, since I can't always sit at the computer, but none today...just on the website, no email notification. Shut everything down, restarted and still nothing. Just wondering...
