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."

I don't see that either. Someone told me about that from my Army group. If I can get more info regarding it I'll post it here. Perhaps it is something they had but no longer have. It was in June or July when she said this. I'll see what I can find out, although I just looked pretty thoroughly and did not see it.

Hey Ladies~ A list would be awesome. We adopted a Seal team a couple of years ago. We sent everything from Dr. Scholl's inserts to candy.
Tricia~ Great info.
Colleen~ That is too funny (rooms). I texted Ed with the info and he replied, "Yep." lol. Keeping my fingers crossed all will go well during Power.

Did you know that you can call 1-800-610-8734 opt 1, then opt 1 again. Tell them you want the military package. They will send you 6 priority pack N ship boxes of various sizes. Along with packing supplies and tape.
You can also print your postage online and save up to 40%. Just DO NOT tape over the bar code.
www.usps.com and click on Qucik N Ship. You can even schedule a pick up. You can also reorder as well from the site. Nice to have on hand. It takes about 7 to 10 days to receive.
One person told me that she buys some things in bulk for her soldier that she knows he wants and then she keeps this on hand at home. Then she has the boxes already there on hand, tape and all and 1,2,3 she just takes it to the post office or arranges for them to pick it up!! Nice for moms with small kids, busy parents who only have the weekend or for those who cannot get around town due to any reason. They can STILL send their loved one care packages right from home!!

Sandra- I hope Nichelle gets some answers and that they are able to find a solution.
Arwen- I'm glad Chris is home and finally done with schooling. That just means you can start saving so you can visit him.
Donna- Keep us posted on where she gets.

Thought everyone would like to see my new tattoo and yes my parents are okay with it. They just don't know I got this one yet.

Chris is home. We dragged our sorry hineys in the door at 3:30 am. Ugh. I do not like midnight flights, Sam I Am.
The dog freaked out when she saw him, barking her head off. She did NOT like his whites. He had to change into shorts and a t-shirt before she realized it was him and stopped freaking out about this scary person in our house.
