OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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."

Great news heard from my son and he got his "dream" orders... going to be on the west coast San Diego. Is on hold after he graduates IT this Friday for a few days then home hopefully the following weekend.
We are located in Washington State and Love it.. Not too many states you can drive to the coast in an hour and or visit the snow in an hour depending your mood and of course the direction you choose to drive... Anyway I hope your son/daughter likes it as well

Good Morning Ladies! All this talk about baby showers and Connie's son getting to stand on for his friend during delivery (what a pal). It's all so exciting!! And Whidbey sounds beautiful I love the mountains.
Hope you all have a wonderful week.

mrjojas my son loves it at Whidbey as far as his job goes but not crazy about the weather in Washington. Where the base is located is beautiful. Right on the water with mountains all around.

Sounds like fun Joyce. We did the same thing for my daughter in law. She is due the beginning of October and while she was here recently we had her a baby shower. Only our side of the family because she is from WA and we live in TX.
mrolas my son is also an ATO and is assigned to the P3. The plane is too big for a carrier so he will never be on a ship unless he changes jobs.

Hi all. Busy week here. Chris and Hannah coming in over the weekend. Baby shower for Hannah on Saturday. Poor girl doesnt know a soul except for me. I will be overloading her with 24 family members. She is a navy gal so I bet she can handle it. Time is flying baby due mid October. Unfortunately no one from her family will be here. She is from Vegas. To far and expensive for them to travel. Have a good week all

mrojas no there is not a carrier at Whidbey. Sailors based there are assigned to carriers but leave from the carrier's home port.

OH i forgot!!! Sailor Son called the other day. we talked for 1 ½ hrs!!! i do believe we would have talked longer but his battery was getting low : )
his buddy deployed on the IKE might not make it back when his baby is delivered and they asked my Sailor to "stand in" for him in the delivery room!!! the baby is due 2/27 and wouldn't be soooo nice if baby would come 2 days early for my Sailor's birthday on 2/25!!!!

Good afternoon my girlies!
OH SHERRILL what a bummer on your lovely Rosewood tree!! did you contact your homeowner's insurance? our flowering Pear trees were lost in Hurricane Elvis and they were covered....i believe it was $150.00 per foot...and that's the trunk circumference measurement.
joshmom....boys rollin' around in the mud....WOO HOO!!!!
Y'all have a wonderful weekend. Poppa Smurf was just sitting at the table making out a grocery list before he heads out to Vegas for the market. he left the list on the table and Sissy picked it up and wrote "tacos".....so guess what's for supper???? hehehehehe
MNM-zoom zoom girlie : )

Happy Friday ladies! No football practice this morning so I finally get to sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee and chat with my N4M buddies. We finally got some rain yesterday. Not much but we'll take anything we can get these days and it's not suppose to hit triple digits today! Who would ever thought 99 could feel so cool....NOT....still got the humidity!
Sherrill - what a bummer about your tree. A few years back an ice storm came thru here and we lost 7 trees - all cedars. I was devastated. We had actually built our house around those trees (we have a cedar home - it was the perfect spot). I feel for ya!
Some good news, J is really liking his new base and he has signed up to do a Spartan race in Nov. I had to google it - one of those endurance obstacle coarse races. He will now be spending most of his free time working out. That should keep him outta trouble! A couple of his buddies including his roomy are doing it too. Says he's looking forward to crawling thru the mud - "won't that be fun mom!"
Have a great day and wonderful weekend!
