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."

B'sNukeMom - Thanks! It was quite a game. My son called his dad so they could "watch" the overtime in the game together. I am not sure what they were streaming it live on, because they were delayed a few minutes. My son misses family, and he was never one to watch football, like his younger brother, or even his cheerleader sister, so calling to share those moments with dad tells you how much he misses home. He and his wife (my sailor DIL for those who don't know) are now settled into their new house. Baby Precious keeps growing.

3B'smom - thank you. It has been pretty crazy. Luckily nothing serious near our home, but Los Angeles County got hit pretty hard and had mudslides and flooding. The streets around my work were flooded for a couple of days - had to take detours around and now that it's drying up the potholes are insane! We haven't had this much rain in a long time. Some areas are still trying to dig out and I'm afraid it will be a while before they do.....weather sure has been crazy of late.

B’sNukeMom -
Been thinking of you with all of that rain. I heard that it was pretty crazy in the IE. Hope you and yours did not have any flooding.

This article is a year old but the message is still important. I'm not trying to scare anyone, just continue to be cognizant of what your sailor is going through and don't be afraid to say something or ask for help.

The rain is finally letting up but it's going to be a lot of cleanup for some areas. Lots of mudslides and flooding. SoCal just isn't prepared for this kind of rain.

Q'sMomma - Your May is going to be bountiful!! We have had similar times as well over the years whether it was nieces and nephews or our own children. Many blessings to you and your family.

B'sNukeMom - I hope things are letting up a bit for you all.
Well, my vet Nuke is moving on in life after the Navy, going to school, being a family man, and a homeowner.
