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."

my son graduated A school today and won't start Power School til January so I hope that he will be able to come home. He did get insurance on his flight, just in case he has to change it.

I've heard that some T-Track students will have to stay during the stand down to do cleaning stuff and stand watches. But I'm almost certain that everyone in A-school and Power School get to go home during the stand down. :)
Comment by TN Navy Mom (Stennis Nuke Mom) on October 22, 2010 at 4:33pm
my3sons - my sailor is going to volunteer for any watch hours or other duties they may have so as not to use up all of his leave time. He and the DIL are planning on being home a week so he'd only need to take 9-10 days leave and still have some days left. Actually if he were to use leave the entire time they are on stand down, he'd be in the hole.
Comment by Zazzws on October 22, 2010 at 3:41pm
Sailors in prototype do not stand down during the holidays.
Comment by NavyMomLG on October 22, 2010 at 2:00pm
Cameowlot - is your son classing up 10/25? I know our boys flew down together from BC, and the last I heard they weren't expecting to start until 11/3. I haven't heard from my son since last Saturday, even though I have been texting him, so I'm curious.

BinkersMom - so sorry to hear about the harrasment, do you think it is still that bad? I heard they had a class on it in BC.
Comment by amanda on October 22, 2010 at 1:43pm
cameowlot- I love checking www.bing.com/travel because it lets you know if prices are rising or dropping and it checks all the travel websites too.

things to do inCharleston - we went to Magnolia Plantation, Folley Beach & Patirots Point. ate at Logans, Hymans, some crab place at folley beach, Ocharlies(?).
Comment by mn linda (nuke MM ELT Groton CT) on October 22, 2010 at 11:15am
for flights, check out prices on www.travelocity.com or www.expedia.com and when you find the time and price that works.

then have your sailor call the individual airline to get the ticket -- and have them ask for a military discount which they may or may not have. My son is flying home on Continental and you can't get the military discount online, you have to call the airline.

Foaling lady, I love reading your excitement. The feeling of having access to your kids via phone or computer is so comforting. My husband and I sense the homesickness with our son, so we are going out to see him November 5th. Two weeks away!! Guess what he wants us to bring him? His golf clubs! I was hoping for a shirt :)
Comment by amanda on October 21, 2010 at 9:44pm
aaron's girl- I'm so happy you're going! let me know how it is!!! I hope to be going in February and I also want to see some of the plantation houses and drool and wish I could live there :P
