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."

Opps I got that wrong. I wil be in Sac on Saturday but not for M&G. I have to test for ajob. So will be testing 11:30 am - 3:00 pm. Gotta check with gf's dad to see if it is ok. I'll be back in time to let them get dressed here and drive them to the formal.
I'm also in process of moving to Ione, maybe, so will be a little closer to Sac. Hopefully I'll make an M&G soon. I miss you all. Navy Hugss
Ok we have a new mom in our group. Welcome JudyM.
Judy's son is leaving on Sat morning, so I have invited for coffee/snacks at Mirabella's at 12:00. on this Sat
I would love for any and all of you to join us and help me welcome Judy to our merry group.
Let me know if you can make it.
Alaina....I am about were you are, everything is was and I have started ironing and cut about 3 fabrics so far. I figure if I can get everything ironed and cut this weekend, then I will be better able to judge what I still need.
Will keep you posted.
And if you can afford a trip to Hawaii you can afford one to Chicago. Hawaii will always be there. But PIR is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for your sailor. Why wouldn't you want to share that with them?
I was mad at my ex for not going but then he is an bleepy bleep.
Oh YES I agree go to PIR if you can. Aidan and I were the only ones who went for Chrissy's. Her father didn't even want to!
It was a long trip from CA to Chicago but I will never regret it. I will treasure the memories in my heart always.
Hi Everyone: WOW, do I miss seeing you all. I'll keep her in my prayers Ginger. It is so very important - one of my best memories.I keep hoping that I'm make one of your project days (with sewing machie in hand). But my time is not there yet.
My hours may be cut back to ten a week at the DA's office - we will see. The Lord knows I've got plenty to do with the other part time job :-}}
