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."

Hi all. :)
I know I saw a few moms out there today who mentioned their sons were in class 1101 starting in November. It'll be here before we know it!
For those of you who don't know, I'm Aaron's girlfriend. He's an EM who graduated A school in September. :)
I can't wait to get to know all of you, and hopefully meet you all in April! :)

That's funny since Justin was just telling me that there are a whole bunch of Texans in his class.  I think he's the only Oregonian but he'd love to adopt a home in Alaska where he spent a year after high school so he really looks for Alaskans.  Justin is also an EM and he says a lot of times the roommates aren't even in the same program together.
My sailor told me that everyone will probably be going to Charleston for Prototype. I'm not sure what I can say here but BS is shut down for a while. Thought I should pass that along! Not definite of course, but he keeps assuring me we'll be in Charleston in June

Oh how I hope I'm in Charleston in June with you!!

You're not certified as a lifeguard, are you? :)

I hope we are together too!!! 

haha no i'm not. i kinda wish though but I can't swim due to an ear issue (but I know how to lol)

 

I've been telling my mom and fiance I'll work at Hooters for the tips. I don't think they're taking me seriously and I wasn't serious but now I just want to prove to them I would!

I'LL WORK THERE WITH YOU!! :)

It'll be awesome! haha. 

 

That's kind of like how Aaron doesn't take my comments about joining the Navy seriously... Makes me want to prove to him that I could do it! :)

Just took a look at flights for April (I'm a plan ahead kind of person).  I could fly Southwest for $304 or Delta for $300.  The Southwest flight would take 8 hr 55 min., the Delta 4 hr 15 min.   Hmmmmm  such a hard decision.  Delta is it!

I'm still looking at flights for a possible Spring Break trip in March! You really are ahead of the game! haha.

If his family goes down, maybe I'll just ride along with them... 12 hours in a car with his little brothers. Sounds like fun, huh? :)

They are taking reservations for the villas now for graduation.  You  have to book a 3 night mim.

what is the contact info for the villas?
Your sailor needs to go by their office to make the reservation.  If I remeber correctly it is the ITT office over by the uniform shop where they take their uniforms for dry cleaning.  It also has a climbing rock wall.  I think (don't quote me) it is on the right before you get to the mini nex.  He can call you from their for your credit card info if you want to pay for it.   There is info about the villas in the discussions.  I believe it is under Local Hotels
Come on April!!!!!!!
You're tellin' me!
