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."

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on March 1, 2011 at 3:42pm: Susan, ((hugs)) to you and D. Young love is so unpredictable.

Penny, I just realized that I didn't answer your question about my hubby looking for house. NO, emphatically NO! Not only doesn't he want to look for a house without me, but I definitely wouldn't want him to do it either. No way I would trust that man with a choice that large. LOL We will probably stay in a 2 bedroom Extended Stay hotel (they allow dogs too) until we find something out there. Hopefully, it will only be a month or two.

Comment by NC_Susan on March 1, 2011 at 2:31pm: Cindy - that was fun in the sun!

Comment by NC_Susan on March 1, 2011 at 2:30pm: I have been playing catch-up reading everyones posts!
Cindy - you should go. I agree with E you need to have some fun in the fun :)
Anita - I'm so glad your visit went well! Its so great that you got to see him!
Betsy - cracking up over your post! Poor A! Doesn't he know that his Navy Mom knows it all. But how sweet of you not to be a know it all about it :)

Well let's see. D finally broke up with his girlfriend on Sunday...then he tells me that he thinks he made a mistake. Hmmmm who knows what will happen!

Comment by CJ's Mom on February 28, 2011 at 10:26pm: Well Not much going on here. Didn't talk with CJ this weekend. He did text me and asked me about buying his girl a promise ring. I am hoping he waits another 6 months for that.... and then another year or so... I am not ready for the baby to get married... Ugh!

Comment by Rose7..Norfolk on February 28, 2011 at 3:55pm: Anita...you make me laugh about the dog!! Glad you have a nice time.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on February 28, 2011 at 10:33am: Anita, that is so exciting for N. He is well on his way to his career. How cool. I'm so glad that you had a great time.

Comment by Anita MA Mom on February 28, 2011 at 2:33am: HEY HEY LADIES,

Home from San Antonio Master At Arms Graduation. It was very nice, very personal unlike that of BC. It was small class of 31. The Commanding Officer came around to each family and talked with us and was very kind. Some families got lost and they waited for them to arrive before starting Graduation, I thought that was very nice. The Base at Lackland is very nice, but VERY BIG and LOTS of Gates to go in , finding YOUR GATE IS KEY LOL... The Navy was set aside separated from the Air Force so you had to be sure to get the right place. N will start his Canine school tomorrow. He is excited but sad, that all of his buddies are gone to other states and parts of the country, and out of the country. Boy it was a LONG drive took us 15 hrs. Will definitely drive it in a couple of days next time. We had fun saw the city, spent some time with N but not enough for Momma (you know). We will go back in May to see him Graduate the Canine school. He will get his Dog this Friday. Pray for a good dog and NO BITES!!!! Hope everyone is doing Great !! Blessings to you all :)

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on February 26, 2011 at 9:58pm: Elizabeth, thank you. You may be sorry that you offered for the vent, cry. lol

Thanks ladies for the well wishes on our house sale. I'm just praying that it goes off smoothly.

As for the packing, it's not a problem. We are in a relocation process, so they come and do it all. :) I just have to sort what doesn't go with the truck. Not so bad.

Cindy, I am so excited for you! You have to go to his graduation! Please go, lady, it will be awesome. I bet you are so proud of him. Woohoo for top 3!

Penny, I had to laugh when you said he wants you to send something. lol

My update on A is that he just found out, yesterday, that they aren't able to choose at all on their Orders after A school. It doesn't even matter if they place 1st in the class. (I knew this, but never told him) He was pretty bummed. He said that the sargeant told them that their job is over manned and they just send them where they are needed. (again, something I already knew) He did say that after A school, he will most likely go to C school in Norfolk, VA, which makes this Maryland momma very happy. :) I think his C school is about 2 1/2 months long. So for that time, he will only be about 5 hours from me after I move back. Woohoo!

He was excited about a childhood friend from when we lived in WV, who is now at the same base with him. He is a Marine and he is doing the same training as A, so they are both there now. A said he was going to try and do some PT with him this week. Small world, isn't it?
