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."

Lisa, I will be thinking of your Grand daughter & you tomorrow, I hope all goes well! My son begins "The Tour" tomorrow...the last week of this phase of SWCC training & the most difficult. He & 10 others have made it this far and we are hoping & praying they all make it through this week too. We are also praying that their leave gets approved so they can come home for Christmas!
Haha that's a good idea, funny you say that, her Dad's boss told him "it's a good thing someone in the family knows how to save $$$" LOL
Surgery is tomorrow and hopefully they'll know today how they're going to do it:(
cheryllynn, WhooHoo! So happy your Sailor is home AND it was a surprise for you!! What an awesome family you have! Enjoy every minute with him!!
Lisa, Oh my! I will keep your little grand daughter & your family in my thoughts & prayers! I hope everything goes smoothly & they can get that other penny out!
My poor 13 month old grand daughter is having a CT Scan as we speek.....She was unable to keep any food down and aafter passing all kinds of tests they X-Rayed her and found 2 pennies lodged in her esophagus (sp?), they were able to remove one by going down her throat but the other is in too deep (they've been there a while). Now they're trying to determine if they have to go thru her clavical or her arm pit to get the other one. Clavical would be better, less recovery time. So please keep her in your prayers and their family too as Mom is due in 2 weeks and Dad will be missing a week of work and it's Christmas
Cheryllynn I'm soooo very happy for you!!! Lucky lady i wish Chris was able to come home so give him HUGS HUGS and more HUGS from all of us:) Enjoy your time with him, youve got great kids to be able to surprise you like that! Love it!!!!
