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."

We lived outside Annapolis for 1 1/2 years...love the area. So much history. I highly recommend spending some time there..visit the Academy and have brunch at Buddy's downtown...I still dream about that place!

Boulder is a great town. Too expensive to live in though.

When did he graduate and what did he major in? My son graduated in 2005 with a degree in Aerospace Engineering.

Nancy - no I'm not in WA. I'm in Colorado. When I got the idea - I went searching the internet and that was the place that I found that allowed you to buy only 1 yard and not a minimum of 3.

I have placed a photo of the patch frame that I made for my son on my page. Looking at other mom's pages, I need to do some work and get some pics in and personalize it.!!!!! If anyone has questions on it, please give me a call.

Leslie, oh so the NFO is like the navigator, "goose"? LOL

Congratulations Rose, one wait is finally over. Good luck to him.
If he's on schedule then I'm hoping things will start on time for the rest of ours.

If I mention N4M to my son, I can hear his eyes roll over the phone! It doesn't deter me though!!!!!!

DJ - I am glad that you are getting relief and never get diagnosed. I have heard that for a formal diagnosis - you have to have ALL of the symptoms, not just some. My friend has never been diagnosed either but is doing well now except for colon cancer that they think that they got but going through chemo anyway.

Leslie,
You obviously heard that from a NFO parent. My son is a pilot and trained on SuperHornets in the RAG. They flew both E's (single seat) and F's (dual seat) but preferred the E's. He didn't like NFO's telling him how to fly his plane. (Basically - outside of their regular duties) When was asked his preference, he was called a "wizzo hater" until he got to his squadron. lol. Of note, he really doesn't like flying in the back seat when he is not in control. He gets airsick!!!!! If anyone knows him, don't let him know that I spilled that little tidbit

After almost 5 years, we learn new ones each time we talk with Mike. I seriously don't know how they keep the acronyms straight. But Chris is right, print them out and keep them handy!
