OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
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."

Welcome Marty! Glad you found this group. Hang in there! I may not have experienced yet what you and Kelly are going through, but I hope I can be uplifting and supportive for you both. We live in Northwest Reno and my son will be shipping out next summer after he graduates from HS. What is your son going to do in the Navy?

I lived in Stateline for a year in 1986. And worked in S.Lake. When I left we had a snowdrift up to our third floor balcony!

WOW...talk about chaos then eh???? I hope that all goes well with your husband's plans to re-enlist. I bet that the 4th of July is going to be a special weekend! Will he have the same rate as he did in the reserves or will he be doing something different? Do you already know where he will be sent? Congrats to you guys!

We lived on the North Shore. Things are really interesting for us right now - he's been home since December but has only had short term orders because he's Reserve. However......he's just been accepted to convert to Active Duty so we will be moving soon. First he has to re-enlist, which he is setting up to do during the Virginia City 4th of July parade! :)

How cool Ski-Nanny...did you live in North Shore or South Shore? We lived out in Meyers, so we always got the MOST snow! LOL Now that we live here in Reno, we live close to Verdi, so when it snows, we get more snow than most who live in Reno. I mostly miss the trees.
How are things for you and your husband? I noticed that he is an IA...wow, that's gotta be difficult. When is his next visit home??? I sure hope it's soon for you. I have a friend at work whose son is in the Army and he is in Afghanistan right now. His wife has two very young children at home. It's been a difficult deployment, but he gets to come home in September I think. Do you have any children? My heart goes out to you and if there is anything you need, just holler :)

That's funny - I lived in Tahoe for 7 years - up until 2 years ago. :)

Hey Kelly W,
That is very sweet of you to offer your decorations. Are you sure you wouldn't want to hang onto them for homecoming or patriotic events? I would be more than happy to accept.
I sure hope your birthday wish comes true! That would be an incredible gift! I agree that this website has been so helpful. It definitely is helping to prepare me for the inevitable. I feel like I will be able to handle my fears and emotions. I did see the other Nevada Mom on the other forum. I tried to post a comment right after I commented on yours, but it didn't seem to let me. I hope her son got better and was able to ship out. I will have to look for her again and invite her to this group too.
We've lived in Reno since 1999. My family moved to Carson City in 1979 though so I'm almost a native. LOL Definitely love it here! We actually lived on the CA side of Lake Tahoe for 9 years and to be honest I miss it a lot. It's nice being so close to Tahoe though.

Oh cool! Thanks ski-nanny! I'll be sure to go with my coupon in hand :-D. Funny how 'in-style' nautical stuff is this year.

Sierrascrapper - check out Michaels for some sea related items this week - the store down near the convention center has cute little sayings like "ahoy" and "anchors away!"
