Thanks for sharing the article. I sometimes think that those that support the military usually think of those overseas in Afghanistan and Iraq and don't think about all those serving in other countries as well as here in the states. I know that th...

James
Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy Career?
Enlisted, Overseas
When I heard “Navy,” I:
Was proud
From my experience with the Navy, the most important thing I learned was:
You have to let go. Ok just a little. or at least we like to think we have. Though he is overseas I always tell him we are with him always. We (my husband & I) are proud of what he does,what he's trained to do and the strength and courage he has to do it.
Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
This was a maturing experience

But other than that all is well for James overseas. He looks good, tired sometimes but thats to be expected. Modern tech rocks!!!! Vonage,skype,computers,cell phones,emails,web cams just think how the families of the… Continue

OPSEC

Loose Lips Sink Ships or OPSEC

Operational Security, also known as OPSEC, is even more important today than in the past. In the simplest terms OPSEC is denying the “bad guys” information so that our military may complete their assignment. We now have more means of communication that may be “intercepted” than ever before. Cell phone conversations and internet/email transmissions need to be guarded.

Conversations on cell phones are very easy to monitor. Discussing leave, where a unit is l… Continue

Homecoming pushed back again :(

James was to be in Sig by Nov. 22nd. Held up in Bahrain they told him last week he will be home for Christmas arriving in Norfolk the 23rd. So James mailed a bunch of his things home so he didnt have to deal with to many bags at the airports, handed in all his depart papers. less than 4 days after being told he was leaving on cot leave he was told his new duty station said no the plane stops in Sig on the way to the states and they want him now. So now for Christmas not only will he NOT be home… Continue

Hi Melissa, I'll have to show my daughter your son's picture and see if she recognizes him. She's been in indoc classes until week before last. She finally started her job last week. It truly is a small world.

17 months is a heck of a long time... is he deployed? He looks like one tough dude. Glad he is on our side. I pray for our sailors to be safe and be happy in their service. Thanks again.

Hi Melissa, My daughter Stephanie is leaving for Sicily next week. She finished A school last week and is an MA. She's very excited and as happy as I am for her I'm also sad that she is leaving. She is my only child. But what an adventure she has ahead of her. In some ways I'm envious. I see that you are from Michigan too! Does your son like it over there so far? Maybe they will meet.
