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."

For our Sailors - the Father's Blessing
Numbers 6:24-26 from the NIV

May the LORD bless you and keep you;
The LORD make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you;
The LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.

I especially like it from the Message translation

God bless you and keep you,
God smile on you and gift you,
God look you full in the face
and make you prosper.

May these words ring true for each and everyone of you!

Comment by khoov00 (Kara) on September 28, 2010 at 1:48pm: Adamsdad - I'm glad you shared about the reoccurance of the initial grief. Most of the time when I come one Navy Moms I tear up at some point. There are also lots of triggers throughout the day that have the same effect. Luckily it's not constant anymore and seems to be getting a little better. At least I understand it more and this website has shown me that it's totally a normal response.

Comment by AdamsDad on September 28, 2010 at 1:30pm: Ok, is anyone else having a real reoccurance of the initial grief? I was doing much better for weeks and then today, I am walking around on the verge of tears all day. And I am a DAD and a former Marine, for pete's sake!

Comment by Jen - Ship10mom(Div340) on September 28, 2010 at 1:25pm: khoov - Thanks for the idea! I know, food might be good there, but there's nothin' like momma's home cooking! :-)

Comment by khoov00 (Kara) on September 28, 2010 at 12:07pm: Beans work really well in the crock pot too. All of the ingredients can be taken dry, except the meat, which I'm sure you can find nearby. You could probably even make jerky to use for meat if you want to take all the stuff with you. Also, if you are going to make stuff ahead of time with your dehydrator fruit rollups and beef jerky are great and would be easy to take with you. The last time I made jerky my sr ate the entire bag in one day. Thanks for the reminder, I need to make some soon to mail to FIL to take to PIR with him. My sr has been writing about wanting some of my cooking even though he likes the food there.

Comment by Jana B on September 28, 2010 at 12:06pm: Since I'll be flying in, how far away is the Wal-Mart?

Comment by Jen - Ship10mom(Div340) on September 28, 2010 at 12:05pm: Yeah - I can believe that! I imagine we'll probably go to Red Lobster once as SR mentioned that, and when we were there last time, it was delicious!! Yum Yum Yum. But otherwise - no so hot. Food court at the mall not really my idea of 'good food'. We hardly ever eat out of a box or can at home, so a week or weekend of highly processed food turns us all inside out. Wish we had a deer in the freezer, I could make jerky - oooh- so yummy!! :-) Can you tell it's lunch time?

Comment by Jen - Ship10mom(Div340) on September 28, 2010 at 11:35am: Thanks all! Not sure if we have fridge -thought I'd have to bring a cooler. I'll have to call LaQuinta and find out. We stayed there a couple months ago, but I don't remember...Shredded pork sounds yummy - haven't eaten yet and my mouth is watering now - thanks alot!! :-)

Comment by bobsgirlsue on September 28, 2010 at 11:26am: also corn beef and cabbage with red potatos and carrots

Comment by bobsgirlsue on September 28, 2010 at 11:22am: @ship10mom do you have fridge. I've done ribs and pot roast in my crock pot.

Comment by Jen - Ship10mom(Div340) on September 28, 2010 at 11:16am: Well... our hotel does not have kitchenette so... I'm going to have to get creative w/ packing a cooler, crock pot & paper plates I think. I've got fried chicken I'll make ahead of time (can eat that cold, and it's SR Favorite!!), CrockPot lazagna (can fry hamb. ahead of time and just throw everything in)... Lunch meat of course and bread...anyone else w/ any ideas for crock-pot?? Gonna try and stay Tues and Wed, and try not to spend much $$, cause there won't be much to spend...I'll have to get out the dehydrator this week too I think... OK - looking for ideas!
