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."

Hi MA moms . A lot of you know and met young Kasey , at packing parties. Had at my home and Harrington in December .
Well after frantic texts and voice messages last night I had a call and she is ok . Kasey is doing her ROTC nursing at Northeastern. Had been on duty since 6 am and was on lockdown till maybe 11 pm ,she said . Se sounded young young and small , telling me of the horrific injuries that came into her hospital . Very sad and senseless. So yes Donna way to go dedicating your packing party and Aprils adoption to the heros on our , your doorstep .

OK, Moms -- the S. New England packing party will be on Saturday, April 20th beginning at 11:30am.  It will be held at Harrington Hospital in Southboro, MA (right off Rte. 84 in CT or you can exit off the Mass Pike).

Please, please try to make it!!  We know we will have a lot of fun.  I'll add a new discussion above later with their wish list, etc.

Thanks everyone!

Morning everyone!!  The response has been slow as to which date is better for the regional packing party.  Come on & join the fun.  It isn't a long drive - we can work out some car pools.

I missed the first and have regretted that I couldn't get there (health issues, for you new moms); but I heard about it for weeks!!  It must have been a LOT of fun for everyone.

So please, let me know which date works for you April 20 or 27.  I have to call back with our choice of date on Friday - not much time left to make your wishes known ...

Comment by Joniana (Helen) on April 6, 2013 at 9:00am

No problem -- I travel anywhere!  Will wait to hear date and time. 

Comment by Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on April 5, 2013 at 10:16pm

Joniana, I got the town wrong, sorry.  It is Harrington Hospital, 100 South Street, Southbridge, MA.  Do you know where that is?  Is it still close to you?  I hope that you will be able to come.  It will be great to meet IRL!!  Still waiting to hear from more MA Moms, also CT and RI.

Everybody, let me know what works for you please!

Thanks & take care.
