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."

Thanks for asking Jojo, think I've got the plates etc down, you're cooking so that's plenty with all that's going on in your life!  But I'll let you know.  How exciting you're going to PIR!!
Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on August 1, 2011 at 2:15pm

Look forward to meeting your daughter and seeing you!  

@ Anita - it's the AJ's at Val Vista & Baseline 6 to 9pm.  It's a regular meet-up, just a group of moms (Blue Star) who meet on the patio under the misters and chat - very informal and fun, talk about anything & everything, no 'military' or other agenda.  I went last time and there were only two of us showed up but we talked for hours and it was fun to get to know each other.   

The party's coming together great!  I think Jane from here is planning to be at AJ's and she's a big part of the the party planning. I can't make it this time though, have to go to the airport :)  

And photos are always welcome!!!  The only caveat on here is that if they're in uniform, to blur out names first.

Well, I see Dillons Mom answered most of my questions while I was typing my comment.  Thank you!  Is there some room in particular where we meet?  I would really like to come.  Are we discussing the upcoming get-to-gether or what? 
Comment by Anita on August 1, 2011 at 12:37pm

Good morning!  I'm reading about coffee at AJ's.  What's happening at AJ's (besides coffee, obviously) and which AJ's - the one at Val Vista and Baseline or the one in Chandler?  Also, what time?  I may be able to make it and meet some of you lovely ladies before the big event on Sunday.  It would be nice not to walk into Bass Pro Shop totally "blind".  Haven't had  bunch of time to get onto the site the last couple of weeks - my son came home, I went to Disneyland with my daughter and her family, and my son is still here.  Please let me know.

Also, would it be okay to post a photo or two from his welcome home party?

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on August 1, 2011 at 12:21pm
Everyone - don't miss out on our group's party this Sunday!  It's an ARIZONA NAVY MOMS event, it would be awful to be outnumbered by the Air Force, Army and Marine moms when we're welcoming an ADMIRAL - seriously!  It's a rare opportunity here in AZ.  Here's your invitation - NAVY MOMS INVITE & RSVP - please make plans to support our group and our sailors and come have a good time meeting up with all us Navy moms! :)
Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on August 1, 2011 at 12:01pm

Barb, so far yes but I'll keep you updated as the RSVPs roll in.  

Cindy, I think it's this Thursday?  Jane will know!

Comment by ProudGMBarb on August 1, 2011 at 4:08am

Marcy...thanks for putting that awesome invitation together. I saw that someone else is bringing some barbeque meats, so I signed up for Mac & Cheese. It's pretty yummy! I dress it up with little diced green chiles and sliced all beef hot dogs.

So do you think planning for 30 people should do it?

Looking forward to it!

THE PARTY INVITATION IS HERE!! 

Click on this link to view your invitation ~ Party invitation and RSVP

When you click to RSVP "yes" and click "confirm, you'll be taken to the next page with several tabs up top including "Potluck."  Go there to see what others are bringing and to add what you're bringing, if anything.  Also add if you're bringing guests so we can get an estimate of how many are coming.

I emailed invitations out today to those whose email addresses I have, too.  So be sure to RSVP!!  I can't wait for next Sunday, it's going to be a great event!!

By the way, here's more information about Admiral Sanders:  

As Commander of Combined Task Force 151, Admiral Sanders commanded 4,440 sailors on 19 ships from seven nations in a coalition counter-piracy force operating off the coast of Somalia. He served in this at-sea command tour until January 2010 and currently serves as Deputy Commander, U.S. 2nd Fleet.

Such sad news; prayers for his family.  What a tragedy.
