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."

What hotel is everybody staying at?

Thought it might be nice for everybody to say where they are staying for PIR as a means of knowing who will be in the same place, taking the shuttles, carpooling, etc. and maybe even getting together…Continue

question ladies my hubby said that they are pulling all the SR widsom teeth he havent had his pulled out yet but why do they do that

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on December 11, 2010 at 2:43pm

Alright...i'll give you ladies a piece of advice..that I found AMAZZZINGGG while going through this. Break it down. Week by week. Say....It's only 13 days until Xmas Eve..

Then only 1 day until Xmas, then only 7 days until the beginning of 2011. Then only so many days until you do something fun in January..then only a few more days until transit..then BAM. It's there..in the blink of an eye!

Deana- My son is also in Ship11/Div053!  So glad to see someone else with a loved one in the same division!  No letter or phone call yet- just the box and the form letter!  Hoping they can call tomorrow.  Monday will be three weeks.  So glad to hear others are receiving calls.  Please post if you hear anything!  We’re on pins and needles here!

Comment by AlishaNicole SHP11DIV54 on December 11, 2010 at 2:39pm

Yay KLP!! Hang in there, girl! Try to remember that this is just temporary...It seems to help me at times!   :)

 

Please remind me ladies if I forget my own advice! Ha!

Comment by Sharon*MA mom* on December 11, 2010 at 1:40pm

Good Morning Ladies......well, I'm happy to see that there are letters coming and even a phone call was received (YAY Kac!!!). I'm still waiting to get something besides the form letter and paperwork from his bank. I spoke with a friend the other day whose daughter was at GL last year. Again, she gave the "no news, is good news" mantra :) Like so many of you I'm just trying to get by day to day and am strugling with the added Christmas chores. Some days it is a good distraction, other days it is too overwhelming, and most often it is a day spent bouncing between the two extremes!! I still have two kids at home going to the same high school as my rct did. Basketball is in full swing and the games are a great distraction, although I find myself looking for my rct out on the court.

I'm encouraged daily by all of your posts and words of wisdom! It is comforting to not go through this alone. Stay stong all you beautiful, brave women!! Here's hoping we all hear from our rcts soon!!!

Comment by joansj proudGSM mom on December 11, 2010 at 1:31pm

KAC congratulations on your phone call, I know you must be very excited and relieved. Hopefully this is the week that we can all start hearing something.
