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 letter.  Not such great news, well at least for us, Chris got orders and will be going to San Antonio instead of GL for Corpsman school.  He said he will only have Friday to spend with us.  I have to find out how we get to spend time with him at gate.  I really have not paid much attention to that.  I'm so disappointed.  He is also disappointed but excited to go to Texas. 

 

The gas chamber sounds like it was quite the experience.

Thanks Sandra you said it beautifully. 

 

I have to share the frustration I feel right now with my EX.  He can be so annoying.  He has this little problem in that he won't listen to a word I say.  When I try to tell him something that I have learned from this website or FB-RTC site he will say,"well I don't know about that, blah, blah, blah..."  Because we are sharing rental car next weekend he acts like he can make the plans.I want to get to the airport as early as possible to see my son, he won't listen and won't try to understand what I am saying.  Bottom line... I am not married to him.  If I want to get to the airport early, I will go without him, even if I have to take a taxi.  Ok.  I feel better.

Oh lets not talk about EX. You will get me started. Mine is not going to this important date because he says I will hog my son up. Well hes right! He needs to grow up and realize that this is about our son and not us. Us was over many many many years ago. I know my son will be sad cause hes not there, but happy cause I am:)

 

Nursemom,

they have shuttles that go to the airport to your hotel. just a thought. One who keeps getting mentioned on the site is a guy name sarge.They say hes reasonable. Check it out.

Forget the ex's right now this is about of children...Yay!!!
