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 CJ's Mom on January 17, 2011 at 6:05pm: Betsy I will check in later tonight - hope we get a chance to chat...

I love reading all the posts you all are special girls.

Not sure if all the schools are the same but CJ informed me today he can not keep any medication in his room. Not even asprin ot tynenol. And they can not share stuff either, The reason I found out was CJ got hurt today... His roommate and he were wrestling and he ended up hitting his head on the wall. He said it was a cement cinder block wall. Anyway he didn't want to go to medical because he was afraid they may send him home or he may get in trouble for wrestling. Anyway he has a severe headache. Told him to go to medical and tell them he has a headache not how it happened then. Anyway boy will be boys

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on January 17, 2011 at 5:13pm: Thanks ladies for all your hugs and good wishes. You are all just awesome! The kind words really helped.

Penny, (Groton) glad to hear that N is liking Groton. We have missed you. I'm glad you are feeling better. ((hugs))

Elizabeth, thanks I could use the laughs now. :)

Penny, I bet you are so happy to be finished your paper.

Cindy, sorry to hear that you had a work today. ((hugs)) to you on feeling emotional too.

Susan, thank you. Do you think you will all get back to school this week?

Donna, I had a feeling the Steeler's were your team.

It's been a quiet day here. I'm just concentrating on getting more of our house cleaned out.

Comment by ctownnavymom_Groton_SECF on January 17, 2011 at 3:41pm: Hello ladies...phew...took me a long time to catch up on all of the posts! I have been really busy and then I got sick towards the end of last week and I just didn't feel like getting on the computer at night except to talk to N. But today I felt like it had been way to long since I touched base with all of you!

Wow there is so much that is going on with everyone! Sorry for the losses I have read about! Much love to all of you.

Yes, I, too, received my NEX DVD refund. :(

N is still loving it out in Groton...still hasn't started BESS yet. So he is working out, watching movies and playing video games! I do love being able to talk to him on a regular basis!

Well heading to the gym...trying to get into a work out routine in the winter isn't easy!

Take care...

Groton Penny :)

Comment by MarylandMom on January 17, 2011 at 9:32am: Belated birthday wishes to Jacque & Penny !! I hope both of you had wonderful days !!

((((Hugs))) to you Betsy for the stressful time you are going thru. You are so quick to pass out hugs to all of us when we are down. I hope things calm down for you soon. Yes, I did watch the game on Saturday. I am a diehard Steelers fan. Have been since the 70's.

Stacey, sorry that I didnt know of your Dad's passing. My thoughts are with you. I'm sure times are very tough for you and your family. Hold on to all of your wonderful memories of him. May they bring you comfort.

Wishing everyone a happy Monday. Calling for snow & ice here in western Maryland tonite.
