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."

Comment by TxLadyJane(ET Nuke Mom) on January 31, 2011 at 8:27pm: Congrats Penny! Penny my daughter was on WIC her husband is a SGT in the Army, they have 2 children, she was happy she was it saved them a lot of money.

Kat that is great!

Comment by Kat (MM Nuke) on January 31, 2011 at 8:12pm: Oh, it saved him that he doesn't owe Arizona taxes on his military pay portion.

Comment by Kat (MM Nuke) on January 31, 2011 at 8:11pm: yes, you heard the scream. He was actually taking a nap when I sent him the messages about it. He has watch from 8-10 tonight, in the classroom, so will do his studying then. He called me when he woke up about 30 minutes ago. He is stunned.

See, all last year I kept telling him that he's going to owe because he only had the minimum taxes taken out. He kept saying he doesnt' care because he wanted to have fun with the money then, and besides he'd be getting the first installment of his bonus before taxes are due. Ha, that isn't going to happen. So he was stressing over how much he needs to save. He spends every dime so this was going to be a challenge for him to save the money. Now it looks like he won't have to. I dont' think I made a mistake. did it on turbo tax. his taxes aren't exactly hard: dependents -NO, Interest income - NO, charitable contributions - NO. I mean, it's pretty straight forward. I'll go over them again to be sure, but so far it looks great.

Comment by Kat (MM Nuke) on January 31, 2011 at 7:48pm: Penny, I think it's all about mentoring or something. If you have a roommate who has been there a few weeks, maybe they can help the new ones a bit.

Comment by BunkerQB on January 31, 2011 at 7:48pm: Ladies, I know San Diego. Unless it's a share aparttment $700 wouldn't get you a studio in a decent area. Be careful. They could still get a small house 1200-1400 in a good location.

Comment by Penny_Nuke_MM2_NimitzNuke on January 31, 2011 at 7:41pm: Colleen - first cruise on a destroyer - you LUCKY BUM !!!!! lol

Comment by Colleen in PA on January 31, 2011 at 7:37pm: Hi Ladies, my daughter's ship is having a Tiger Cruise in a couple mos. and we have to meet the ship in Boston! Anyone from Boston that knows an inexpensive hotel? Need to be close to the port which at this point I'm not sure where that is! My first cruise and it will be on a Destroyer! thanks for any info

Comment by Penny_Nuke_MM2_NimitzNuke on January 31, 2011 at 7:35pm: Kat, I am surprised that they don't put roommates together that are in the same class. But it also sounds like outside of the classroom, there is to be no talk about what goes on in the class as well and no textbooks are taken out of class either. So I guess it doesn't make it easier or more difficult with having a same-class roommate.

Comment by Penny_Nuke_MM2_NimitzNuke on January 31, 2011 at 7:33pm: aaronsgirl - you are in hot demand !!! lol

Comment by Penny_Nuke_MM2_NimitzNuke on January 31, 2011 at 7:30pm: One reason they are on food stamps and WIC is because they CAN. They do not count their housing allowance or their food allowance as part of their income and because of that it "appears" that they make much less than what they actually do. I know ... we have a 6 year Navy guy in the family with a wife and little baby and hear most of the ins and outs to the Navy. They are given $1950 per month in the San Diego area towards housing and if they choose to find a place for $700 a month, they pocket the rest. So, all in all, it's not really that bad.
