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."

Hope Chris has a fantastic bday---just being back in the U.S. had to help and that you were there to celebrate-- icing on the cake...so to speak LOL and you know sometimes it's kinda nice to unplug and not know what's going on except in your own little world for a couple days...spending time with family and enjoying every moment. Just don't forget to come back to us every once in a while LOL

Andrea,
I am so glad you are safe and nothing happened near you!! I have been so out of touch with what's going on in the world. Chris doesn't have cable TV so I haven't seen any news in days!!! Kinda weird being uniformed!!! Yes I've been giving lots of hugs. Today is Chris' s 30th birthday!!! Addy and I got to go to the hotel with them yesterday and did the beach, pool, and just enjoyed the beautiful view!! Watching Navy vessels on the horizon!!! Awesome!!!
Catsmom,
So Brandon is the target we are aiming for???? Got it!!!! Glad to hear your girl is hanging in there!!!! Hope your week goes quick!!!
Jean,
Hope Your week goes quickly too!!

Anna,
Hope you got your big ((HUG)) before he headed out the door again :-) and are enjoying your grandma time as well as the beach!!
Catsmom,
Thank you for your prayers, I know they helped!! Terry was at work, so I had my local weather tracking the tornados, my NOAA radio (no sirens where we live) and my tornado app on my phone all rattling info to me....Catsmom was kind enough to keep me company via instant message!! My heart breaks for the loss of life and utter destruction that happened no more than 20 miles from me. It's truely devastating....have I mentioned how much I HATE tornados?! Welcome to spring in the south, right?! :-(

Good Morning to Everyone.
Hope this week goes faster then the last one. We are going to be having a taste of Summer here this week. By the end of the week we are going to be in the low 80's. But by the weekend were back to the 50's.
