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."

ooo okay thank you thank you. They tell me to wait til i am 25 years old. They just check me as a self examination every 6 months. Thanks for the insight though because i am a huge chicken. I can admit that I get scared off of anything.

Charlie's Desertmom - my son has been away at college for 4 years and wasn't a big communicator. while I am disappointed now by his lack of communication, if I look at it objectively, it is not so much different than the previous 4 years. The difference for me is that I could always call and leave a message - now I can't do that. I'm with ya though, it is really hard not to hear from my SR. One time we didn't hear from him for quite a while and he wasn't answering emails/voicemails so we called the campus police. They went to his dorm room and knocked on his door to make sure he was okay. It was a big surprise to him, but (obviously) didn't change his behavior. I guess we have to look FORWARD, to PIR.

Yep I agree wholeheartedly how we have come together these past several weeks. Charlie's Desertmom thank you for thinking of yourself first. Yes, after the annual "smashogram" as nikosmom so eloquently put it (that term is funny it made me laugh!)--my hubby never argues with me go and doing a big shoporama. Hey a girl gotta do what a girls gotta do to make herself feel good :-)

Letters might slow down alittle and that's to be expected as the divisions are bringing this whole show to a crescendo... well going to take a soak now...good night to all my "sisters"

I am scared to start getting one done soon because my mom tells me they are painful sometimes and my grandma too. They want me to start gettin my done in a couple years because all the lovely ladies on my mom side have breast cancer. Does it really hurt?
Comment by KristinaR(Divison 285) on August 10, 2010 at 10:09pm
Charlie- yea that why but as long as i can get there i am a happy camper. Are you staying at the navy lodge as well?
Comment by Charlie's Desertmom on August 10, 2010 at 9:54pm

Comment by shannong1268 (CVN 77) on August 10, 2010 at 9:53pm
Five pages since this afternoon! Wow!! I only got to talk to her for like five min...couldnt ask many questions, but we're still going..just have to decide whether to come back sat or sun! I would feel bad sightseeing in Chicago without her! Even if it was for a few hours..we'd go, she deserves to have us watch her..wouldnt miss it for anything
