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."

Well, ladies, it has been a crazy day. I ended up making some Cuban black bean soup but not before I worked out at the gym, cleaned out my closet (haven't started on my SR's yet!) and went to a play rehearsal (not wearing flannels but wearing my Uggs). I didn't get my nap so I am going to hit the hay. I did get a letter written to my SR. I agree...we are waaayyy more relaxed than we were a couple of weeks ago. G'night all from the great Northwest! :-)

Good morning Ladies. 17 days to go and counting. did anyone notice that our group surpasses all the others with the amount of posts on FB and N4M. we have over 500 just here alone. It just shows you how supportive we are of each other and that we like to make sure each other gets through the day. Thank god for all of you, I would not be doing to well if it were not for all you.

I can't believe it either, 17 days to go!!! I'm so excited to see my SR. He also told us in his last letter that he will be in A school for 4 weeks and then he gets 5 days with us at home. Then he doesn't know what's happening after that. I hope he is correct!!! It's some flipping cold in Maine today and Great Lakes doesn't look much warmer! BRRRRRR Have a great week everyone. We are almost in the "single" digits till graduation!!

Good morning from Ohio. It's cold again. Tried to watch the Grammy Awards last night, but I'm a huge Downton Abbey fan, so that's where I was last night. Yes, I fixed my soup, but we didn't eat it. So that is for today. We do (or at least I try) to do Meatless Mondays. I didn't fill my SR into it. So I'll do a big salad with our soup tonight and all will be well. I also made tuna salad for this week too. All done in flannel pants and Uggs (purple). I was styling in the kitchen.
Never got my nap.

I did color my hair! Washed that gray right out!

Oh, wow, we are sooo on the same page! I have purple Uggs as well and yes...I do get rid of that gray. I had my children late in life...not wanting to look like their grandmother instead of their mother.
