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."

I feel old. My hubby has gotten my a cane to be able to walk a little bit better. It does help but I just don't feel that old yet! LOL. At least I can walk farther now.

Comment by spyder013 on May 12, 2014 at 8:42am: Catsmom,
Way to Go crystal...perfect way to start our day with a chuckle!
Have a great day everyone!!!

Comment by Catsmom on May 12, 2014 at 7:37am: Good morning

blm, hoping your ankle is better for your dance! Happy wedding plans are going well.

Anna, ((((Hugs)))))I know you hate to leave your son and family. Always so hard to leave them. Happy you had a good time, and lots of happy memories!

Hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day!
Just want to share a bit of news from Crystal. She called me early yesterday morning. She had gone camping on Myrtle Beach with some friends. Any way she got a very early phone call from the Augusta sheriff. Her soon to be ex, was drunk and rolled the car. No one was hurt, thank God no one else was involved.Brandon Asked her to bail him out of Jail.... Can you imagine! Se told him No! He begged her, she said No! She explained to the sheriff what he had done to her, he said I wouldn't bail him out either...and it will be our pleasure to lock him up..LOL only bad thing is she has to deal with the car. Not sure it is worth the money still owed on it. Talked to her again last night. He is still in Jail...Karma.. Gotta love it!
Off to work, last day of playing boss..LOL. And I get to stay at my school, and not go back to the High School from hell!

Comment by Anna on May 11, 2014 at 9:44pm: Janet,

Congrats on Our new sailor!! So happy for all of you. Are you going to PIR?? You have to tell us all about it!!!

Emmie,

Congrats to getting to spend time with your girl also!! please give her a big ole' Navy mom hug from me!!

Catsmom,

I'm still in VA. Last night :( I had a wonderful Mother's Day - had a beautiful brunch at the Hilton right on the beach! Then Chris took me to Zaxby's for my last dinner here! For those of you in the south, you are probably familiar with them. We fell in love with them when we lived in GA. They are making their way slowly up north, but are just recently putting places here in Norfolk!!! This fix will have to last me for awhile!!! Hubby's not too pleased with me - Zaxby's and Waffle House without him!!

blm,

Hope your ankle gets better for your dance performance!! Glad to hear wedding plans are going smoothly. I have to get back to ordering invitations when I get home!!

Jean,

I don't think Zumba is a real good idea right now!! You should probably stick with walking for awhile!!

Comment by blm on May 11, 2014 at 5:59pm: Hope everyone is having a great mother's day-even if we are without our children close enough to hug-we are in their hearts I am sure.

Wedding plans are moving on without a hitch so far.

My ankle is still bothering me-starting PT this week-it has been almost 3 months UGH. I am doing a dance performance next Saturday-for five minuets I have to suck it up-I can do that.
