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 rickysmom0403(ship 12 div 034) on January 11, 2011 at 2:55pm: If the tag was on a packed minivan that was us. Were you stopped for about 1/2 hr trying to get up a hill???

Comment by Julie- (CVN 69 IKE) on January 11, 2011 at 2:49pm: Ladies I think the no news is good news is true and I will go with that because after my morning I seriously believe I am being tested for one reason or another.

my 16 year old daughter came in this morning and woke me up.. it was still dark so I couldnt see her as she told me her face and lip was swollen. ok a 16 yr old girl has a tendency to over react so before I turned on the light I was thinking she had a bad zit or something... I didnt expect to see the sister of the elephant man standing there when I cut the light on... I thought I was gonna have a heart attack, and needless to say I dont think my exclamation of "oh my god" helped the situation any because she didnt believe me when i tried to back track and say its not that bad.

Anywhoo... we ended up making an arly trip to the ER for a cocktail of Prednisone, benedryl and pepcid ( i never heard of pepcid for an alergic reaction) Still have no clue what caused it and the swelling is still pretty bad, but bless her heart she is hanging in there. School is closed today and hopefully by tomorrow it will be gone.

I am thinking whatever the reason I havnt heard from D I am gonna have to believe that no news is good news because I am begining to feel exhausted and ovewhelmed so I need a min to catch my breath.

knock on wood that the 12 yr old doesnt find anything to get into ....

Comment by Ersmom CVN71/Roosevelt on January 11, 2011 at 2:46pm: Hey Rickysmom, I bet I saw you heading south.. at least I saw a FL tag heading south in TN. I live in Decatur, AL. I cannot believe the roads were not treated or anything in Alabama!!!!!!!! We had to cross the river and it was solid ice. I am glad you made it home. The morning I left, a chick on Chicago CBS 2 made fun of us in the south... I have news: I woke up Christmas in Chicago the roads were clear. Wake up in Alabama and you will have no clear roads coated with ice. I don't care where you live, ice is difficult to drive in. I saw plenty of Illinois tags in ditches and off the road when I was driving home Dec. 26th, too.

Comment by rickysmom0403(ship 12 div 034) on January 11, 2011 at 2:03pm: We finally got home last night. We dropped our sailor off on Sunday at 3pm- He was so happy and ready to begin next chapter- we drove to Nashville and all the roads were ok. Woke up yesterday morning in Nashville to snow. I am w/ ERSMom- once we got into Alabama it was horrible no plows no salt trucks NOTHING. It took us 5hrs to go 100 miles! I was a nervous wreck, once we got home just passed out. I was never so happy to see the Florida state line in my life!!!! Ya'll can keep the snow!!

Comment by BADma on January 11, 2011 at 12:47pm: Ms Ampi...yes, my son told us on Sat. that his division had to wake up at 2:30AM today because some of them were flying out to A School. He had to pack hs sea bag (80 lbs) and walk over to A school. I don't know what time though.

We rented him a locker at Lock n Go to hold his cell phone and contacts/soluttion. I kinda hope to hear from him soon! I don't know about discounts but I'll definitely ask..

I am so proud of our kiddos....907 especially, did a fine job!

Tracy

Oh...tha woulda broken my heart tto see thoae SRs and th RDCs yelling at them.

Comment by Lydia (For B - The Sea is Ours) on January 11, 2011 at 12:42pm: Ms Ampi - not discounts per say but they do have boxes that are flat shipping and the rates are pretty good. They are the ones that we use when sending our carepackages over seas. They are Priority mail flat rate. They have the boxes right there in the post office. Try that. I sent my son lots of treats in one and it was a bit cheaper and quicker than regular mail..

Comment by Ms. Ampi USS Germantown on January 11, 2011 at 12:25pm: @myhero ship02div907

Your son is staying in GL right? My daughter is too .. I wonder if we get a call today, once there settled in. Well, wishful thinking. lol I'm sure it may take a few days or so. I'm ready to get her new address to mail out a few boxes to her. I was told the US Postal office gives discounts to ship to military bases?? Right??

Story;

On Sunday morning while shopping at the NEX store , a group of brand new recruits came in holding a list of items to purchase at the store. The RTC were yelling at them.. I couldn't be in there with all the yelling going on. They were scared I can see it in there eyes and in there voice when addressing the commanders. I wanted to hug them and tell them it will be OK. I know its the RTC job to get them military ready ..but still as a mom I was feeling bad for them. It made me realize even more how strong our Sailors are in getting through anything challenging in life. I love them all.

Comment by Kimber Ship 12 DIV 035 on January 11, 2011 at 10:56am: Just hang on Julie, no news is good news! Its the wait thats hard. Keep busy with something and your phone near you. :) it will be fine...
