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."

Hi all!  I thought this might be a good way for us to connect!  So took the advice of some other moms.  Hopefully we can get information on when we start receiving calls and letters and other info!

That's a great idea.  A real booster for the SRs is mail and someone isn't getting any they are bound to be having problems.  095 Division Moms...we don't want to let any of our guys down...Ask your SR if there is a recruit that isn't getting mail and we'll adopt him and bombard him with mail this last week.
Comment by Ann-Marie(Proud Mom of Nick) on February 26, 2011 at 3:39pm
I agree Carol, if anyone knows of someone who is not getting mail I'd love to write to them.
Comment by Carol(ship12 Div.091) on February 26, 2011 at 3:38pm

There is a  SR on Boot Camp for MOms that has not received any letters.  One of the guys told his mom about it.  Their division is having a contest on who gets the most letters.  They have asked to have people write to him.  If you would like to help this kid in the 114th div. send a friend request to Kathy(ship 07 Div. 114)  or check out this mornings posts on Boot Camp for moms.  And if any of the guys in our Divisions are not getting mail from home I hope we find out so we can write.

Oh, can my SR get phone cards at NEX. He laughed when I bought a fairly large amount on a phone card. Knowing him he let others use it and may be out. LOL
Comment by HapsMom on February 26, 2011 at 3:29pm
PS ladies...According to Hap, all the guys think N4Ms is the coolest and they are glad we are connecting...
Comment by HapsMom on February 26, 2011 at 3:28pm
Letter yesterday...letter today...I feel like I hit the letter lottery.  Neither was very long but both made me smile.  He had to have another surgery on his mouth...a bone fragment was left behind I guess when they removed the wisdom teeth?? and was causing him some problems...but he mentioned it as if it was no big deal...and his friend Robert included a note...saying they were two peas in a pod only he was 6'1 and Hap is 5' nothing...LOL  Very cool knowing he is making friends...

Good day Ladies;

About the car story. When I stopped this was my first thought "Hunter would" and that is because I had taught him well! Just as you all have or we would probably not be conversing now. So many times I have made him/other boyz too, get out to try to help others (he is a BIG young man) with me - they with a, with a are you crazy Mom - were late, look on faces. LOL Being a bit handy while "making do" with life's challenges. We carry car tool kits, water, enhanced first aid/CPR, swiss army knife etc. in our vehicles.

        TxLadyJane - I consider it "Paying it Back & Forward" as we have been helped by so many others and well, raised this way! LOVE the movie as well. Another great moving (yet graphic) story that changed my perspective is 'Crash'.

       diannep - And yes, I was once let go from a job for being "too nice"! First for everything. It truling ended up a blessing that worked out for the better in hind sight.  As you pointed out and it still amazes me - 1% of our nation is in the military - did I get that right?!

      Frandea - go look at the scrapbooks when you get a chance, so inventive, unique and in my humble opinion well worth it!

All good stuff wonderful people

there is a N4Ms Mollies Adopt a Sailor Group that does wonderful  worthwhile projects if anyone is interested. I am sure they would love to have you all onboard.  There is also a list that you can add your name to if any Sailor is stranded away from home, needs a holiday meal, or a ride, or just a weekend away from base and you are willing to go pick them up.  These could be our boys in the future.  I would love to know there are people like you who are willing to befriend my loved one.  So if you have it in your hearts, check out the site!  It is a wonderful feeling when you are blessed to help someone.  I know it does more for me than it does for them .  Hope everyone is blessed today!

Haha Frank actually sent me a letter dated the 15th that says, "And baby don't be afraid to use my account for whatever you might need. Sorry I meant to mention that before but forgot to."
I read that and was like oh don't you worry about THAT! ;) haha!
In reality, I really haven't spent much at all. I don't go out much because my best friend that I shared everything with is in BC :/
BUT NOT FOR LONG!! :)
Comment by HapsMom on February 26, 2011 at 11:57am
Lala Ribbon Queen...while your there...I scapbook too and would love to have a picture of my first hug...frandrea...think Frank would spring for that too  LOL
