Our son begins SERE on the west coast. I can't believe it's finally here and I can't wait for it to be behind us in two weeks. My daughter and granddaughter and I are planning a visit for his birthday, just a few days after his return from SERE. I'm anxious to wrap my arms around him! Have a good week all.

This was sent to me by a navy wife and I felt it would be good to post. I know we are all very careful about what we say but this is a good reminder. This is what I recieved:
I don't know f you can make a post on the Navy 4 Moms but it was brought up on spouses pages on posting things about crashes so quickly so families can be notified through the proper channels instead of finding out through social media.
I first heard of the crash from a parent posting and it came to my email. Who knows if any other parents are on there that it could have been their child killed.
A navy spouse found out through Facebook and social media that her husbands squadron had a helo fall off a ship...before she was notified properly. Then she was notified it was her husband. Then she found out through social media the search had been called off before the command notified her and the articles that were posted were incorrect details.
This is what was posted on a spouses page:
Just a gentle reminder: As a community of Navy/Marine spouses, our hearts break every time we hear of a tragedy. However, please refrain from posting news articles on this site to ensure that the families that have been affected get notified properly and not through this channel. Thank you!
