OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
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."

Geez my airfare from Seattle to Chicago with no stops would be like $850 w/ the open option for rescheduling. I priced out hotel for 5 days and car rental and kenneling for our pugs and with a few hundred bucks to play with for spending...we were up to 2k for this trip. We just can't do it, not on E 1 pay, lol! Oh well I would rather have him use the money on a laptop and civies for A school and a new Android. Our contracts are up with ATT in October so we are going to get new phones with Verizon. I can see him after A school when he has more time off. His mom and friends will occupy him at PIR anyway.

YEAH, LTLY, such great news. My niece, one year younger than my SR, had some similar problems. They kept a close eye on her for the first 1-2 years, my sister had to lug around equipment every 6 months or so when they wanted a 24 hour EEG on her. So glad for your great news. Boys are tough. Maybe a futon on the floor for him for a while!!!!

I tried hard, but just can't stay away!!! My baby girl's EEG came back normal today!!!!!! They called when I was on the treadmill and I started jumping up and down!! Now off to get a bigger bed rail for my son's bunk bed. He fell off it last night, hit hard, but just a bump or two, he is fine.
About the music, I don't know how to do the ringtones, but if you are looking for these songs on itunes for your ipod, just search their name on your itunes. I will try to add more songs later, so if you have a suggestion just email me.

Jmom: There is a ringtone icon at the top that has that song on it. Did you try that? I'm not familiar with downloading ringtones.
