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 B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on November 30, 2018 at 11:42am: Hi all - Happy Friday! I've got my RED on too ;D

Nice picture bigsky21! (FYI - When you click on it it rights itself!) That will be a wonderful surprise for your dad - I'm sure you are counting down the days ;-D

Comment by bigsky21 on November 30, 2018 at 10:45am: lol NancyJo, believe it or not it has snowed here before!! Just a little dusting of snow shuts everything down, it's pretty amazing. I do feel really lucky having him so close when there are many who are separated during the holidays - what's going to be even better is with the timing of PS grad it looks like I will be able to take him with me to Wisconsin for Christmas - we are going to surprise my dad, and I know they already have snow on the ground so I'm counting on a white Christmas ;)

Comment by NancyJo (NNPTC) on November 30, 2018 at 10:38am: What a nice photo, bigsky21! I see palm trees...no white Christmas for you! Glad you had him home for the holidays. Lucky Mama!

Comment by bigsky21 on November 30, 2018 at 10:34am: darn, sorry about the sideways pic, not sure why it uploaded like that!!

Comment by bigsky21 on November 30, 2018 at 10:34am: Good morning all,

Getting excited for PS grad only 3 weeks away now! I am signed up for email notifications from the post office and I see my invitation is in the mail today :D Yippee!!!

So happy we are within driving distance of GC with all the changing back and forth between the 20th and 21st....I think they've finally settled on the 21st, but don't quote me on that!!

Had my boy home for a couple days at Thanksgiving - we told him to bring friends with him if he wanted, but he said one of the Chiefs was making a "trash can turkey" and most of those he knew staying in GC were planning on going there. We went downtown on Black Friday - my little town does "pajama shopping" every Black Friday, that's the only place you'll see me out, I don't like fighting the crowds :) My son didn't wear pjs, but I did get a pic of him in front of the big Christmas Tree...

Comment by NancyJo (NNPTC) on November 30, 2018 at 9:56am: I have my red on! Hooyah! Hang in there, Sea Sisters with your sailors deployed. We're here with you and know what you're going through. Don't hesitate to chime in if you need to.

Thanks for sharing the ELT info, B'sNuke. It's good for us to know that there are different sideways paths our sailors have available to them.

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on November 29, 2018 at 7:32pm: Don't forget to wear your RED tomorrow!

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on November 29, 2018 at 6:59pm: If anyone is interested I added another page to the right about ELT's - Engineering Laboratory Technicians. I borrowed the info from the nukeworkers site and from what B's gf has told me (she was an ELT) the info is pretty accurate.

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on November 29, 2018 at 6:56pm: NancyJo - so glad you had a good time in GC - sorry to hear that one of the grandlittles wasn't feeling well though :( That's nice that you and the DIL were able to visit Boone Plantation together. Sounds like it was a nice quiet visit - and hopefully relaxing too!

Comment by NancyJo (NNPTC) on November 29, 2018 at 2:56pm: Hi Everybody, So many posts while I was gone! Great to read through but too many to comment on. Sounds like everybody had a pretty good holiday even without their sailors at home. Glad to hear it.

I was in GC over the holiday with my sailor and his family. My oldest grandson had a tummy upset on and off throughout my visit so didn't do much. One afternoon my DIL and I visited the Boone plantation which isn't as big as Magnolia but is a place where you pay to get in and that's it. Magnolia you have to pay for the tram, etc. So interesting and nice to spend time together. Otherwise we played games, watched movies, and just enjoyed being together. I'm so grateful for that time.

Well, Sea Sisters, not much longer now to Christmas. I hope some of you get to actually have boots in the house or are able to Facetime or whatever. I know not all of us get contact but know they are always thinking of us.
