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 Kim (Ethan's Mom) on August 22, 2012 at 4:28pm: Alaina, Ethan and Bob aren't in the same airwing so I don't know about yours but Ethan's squadron is moving overseas in January. I can't say where because the Navy hasn't realeased that info yet. His contract will be up in July so they won't make him move and then move him back is what I am hearing.

I totally understand where you are coming from and I don't have to share with a DIL. I have to share when he comes home. I guess that is why I wanted to go to SD to see his ship come in. That way I didn't have to share but it was his decision for us not to go. If they are going to stay at her mother's house maybe you can call and get a 'lunch date or date night' for just the two of you. If she is going to have one on one time with her mom that would seem that he wouldn't be included for that girl time. I'm sure if you told him that you would like some time alone that they would both understand.

You vent all you want to! That's why we are here! (((NMH)))

Comment by Kim (Ethan's Mom) on August 20, 2012 at 9:34pm: Thanks for the info dolly. Wouldn't the ballots have to come from their own precincts?
Linda, good job :)

Comment by Kim (Ethan's Mom) on August 18, 2012 at 7:21pm: Thanks Rebecca! I'm hoping soon we can see him. He just needs to get settled.

Comment by Kim (Ethan's Mom) on August 18, 2012 at 6:49pm: Linda at the very bottom of this page in tbe blue, there is a report link that you can tell them what's going on. I've used it a couple times when people have put inappropriate stuff on a page.
I'm glad you had a great trip! Mine will he back to SD next week! He has asked us to wait to come out :( I'm not happy about it and cried when I cancelled my reservations but I have to respect his wishes. Today is day 285 since Addie and I have seen him.

Comment by Navymom2010 on August 17, 2012 at 8:23pm: Hello all I had a tshirt made for the homecoing of the abe just thought some of you might be interested..i have the info if anyone is interested

Comment by Dawn L. on August 17, 2012 at 7:27pm: dollyslaffin- My daughter rented textbooks at this site for 4 years. You rent them when you need them & then at the end of the semester you send them back. The site is chegg.com She loved it & saved money. Better than the college bookstore.

Comment by tammy ruth on August 17, 2012 at 5:18pm: Well it was a copy of his flight back home but i got that problem solved the Chaplain told me to e- mail it to him and he would print ti out for our sailor. im so glad their is a Chaplain on the ship that has become our friend he has really helped our son out alot these last few weeks. so all is good:)

Comment by Kim (Ethan's Mom) on August 17, 2012 at 4:24pm: Using the FPO is just like they are still out. They wont get in any big hurry to send it on to the ship. When my son first got to his squadron I sent his car tag overnight and it took it 6 weeks to get it. The post office said they couldn't guarantee it since it was an FPO but thought it should get there within a few days. After that I had him get a PO Box so if I needed to send him something I knew it would make it there quicker.

Comment by meagan5220 on August 17, 2012 at 4:23pm: yea Tammy they told us it wont become official until November first. He could always get a PO box or if he has a friend with a house or apt ask if he can have it sent to him there. I have had my husbands friends mail stuff to my house before. I just hold on to it until they can come get it.

Comment by tammy ruth on August 17, 2012 at 4:06pm: YES looks like we will have to use the old address although i was assured from someone on the ship the new address should work. so if any of you wont tosend a letter,package whatever it will take weeks! i sent my sailor a card on the 7th and he still has not gotten it! its as if they are still out to sea so....if any of you wont to send anything to your sailor send it way ahead of time. Post office is still saying FPO AE 09520-2872 does not exist!!!!!!! I hope they get it corrected by NOVEMBER!! our Sailor will be home in a few short weeks. WooHoo! have a splendid weekend all
