OPSEC OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance. Please take the timeto read the OPSEC and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names of Sailors/Recruits are not allowed on this site. If it is in your username you will need to change your username. If yours is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but remember someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture to not include your Recruit at least for the duration of BC. It is also a good idea to make your settings for your Profile Page "viewable only to your friends".

Comment by cincymom1/VirginiaBeach on November 19, 2012 at 1:19am: I pray everyone has a blessed Thanksgiving.

Comment by Lynda (MA-Little Creek, Va) on November 17, 2012 at 10:01pm: Happy Thanksgiving. Get to spend the morning of Thanksgiving with my son. Then off to the airport with him. He's going to his first duty station in Virginia. It's been great having him home. Time is going by soo fast. It is going to hit me hard that he won't be here for Christmas. But, these past 10 days have been great. He has matured so much.

Have a great holiday.

Comment by mrstower (AM/Pensacola) on November 17, 2012 at 1:50am: Hi ladies!

Just dropping by to wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving!

My husband (my sailor) is in Pensacola in his A- School, graduation is 12/18 just in time for Christmas Leave! He LOVES his work! I have been there 2 times for a whole week each! 1 alone and 1 with the kids this past week. Hi gets his orders this Monday, so I will drop by to let you all know where we are going!

Hugs!!

Comment by cincymom1/VirginiaBeach on November 11, 2012 at 11:46am: How sweet! Enjoy his stay. I 'm not going to see mine until December.

Comment by Lynda (MA-Little Creek, Va) on November 10, 2012 at 8:42pm: My baby is home!!!! :)))) He looks so good. He needs some home cooking. He's to skinny. Here he is with his little sister. She missed him sooo much.

Comment by daubersmom on November 10, 2012 at 7:20am: Going to San Antonio to pick up my Sailor for Thanksgiving and then driving to my Mom's. It will be a bittersweet visit, have not been home for Thanksgiving since before my dad passed. Excited to see my Sailor though...

Comment by ProudNavyMom,NavySchoolofMusic on November 9, 2012 at 8:59pm: My sailor will be at Virginia Beach until March 29th. Then his first assignment will be in Norfolk.
He prefers the cold weather, so if it's been cold, he hasn't complained about it. I watch their weather, & I've been seeing 60's & low 70's. But I think they can get pretty cold..

Comment by Lynda (MA-Little Creek, Va) on November 8, 2012 at 9:14pm: Proudnavymom: How long will your son be there for A School? Does he like Virginia Beach? My son seems to think it's going to be warm. I don't think so. It's kind of like the weather we're having in Chicago. Cold

TLCmom: I hope you had a great time with your son when he was home. We're going to cram in his birthday, Thanksgiving and Christmas all in his short visit. When my son was in San Antonio he had a roommate for about 5 of the 7 weeks. I think he enjoyed being alone for the last two weeks.

His pinning ceremony happens tomorrow at 9:30. I can't be there, but I'll be there in spirit. I hope they take pictures.

Comment by TLCmom AO on November 8, 2012 at 9:43am: Lynda, My son just came home for 10 days. He finished his training at Pensacola and he went to Oceana (Virgina Beach) yesterday. He said that it was very nice and he has a room with a tv and he is by himself, no room mate. They give them private rooms with a bathroom attached between the rooms. He has not really be alone with boot camp then Pensacola, he was feeling a little weird being alone!
