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."

We live about an hour from Great Lakes. Kyle is our youngest out of 6 and currently is "on hold" at the Cole. He is thrilled about all this and I guess I just want to learn more so I understand it.
I forgot to check back here in a few weeks. Glad to see this group is getting some recent activity. I'm thinking I know Judith Ann, but maybe not fallinan and Chemung8. Where are you guys from?
My son just got to Missippi tonight for combat training, and then he is off to VA. He finished A school last Monday, and then came home for a few days leave.

Hi! My son also has just been assigned to MSRON2, finishes A school in GL end of August, off to Combat Training in Gulfport, training in California and then to VA - he was just told by his mentor in VA they will be deployed in November - excited for him because he is so happy with this but also would love to feel more comfortable about this!
Hi! My son has just been assigned to MSRON2, he finishes A school in GL on Monday, then off to Combat Training in Gulfport. He will arrive in VA on August 24. Is there anyone who can make me feel more comfortable about this assignment??
Hello Moms. My daughter is a Gunner's Mate, and she just arrived in VA as part of the MSRON 2 squadron. Are there any other moms with daughters in this unit?
Brenda Sue,
Typical boys...that is why I asked the question because he won't order them for himself, he is actually re-wearing his disposable contacts...I just want to go over there and pinch his head off..he is not supposed to wear them for more than a day. I did order him some and will ship them to him...he will be there until July sometime. Thanks for the info, and if you find out any other info I would appreciate your passing that along.
Thanks a bunch,
Rena
