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."

Andria,
When my husband and I looked at the pic the first words out of my mouth were: That looks like Andria's daughter. I saw her pic on your NavyforMoms page.
Sure looked like her.

So true Lisa, I look forward to getting online and checking out the website to see whats happening with our kids. I have learned so much from all of you ladies and I would have been a wreck if I had not found this site... Almost there !!!

I have to say, I have thought about all the moms who did NOT find this website. We are the minority. There are SO many more moms out there who went through this by themselves. I can't imagine doing that. Husbands don't understand. Even friends don't understand. A recruits mom or wife has a special perspective on this whole experience. It has been quite a journey. We aren't quite finished, but we can see the light at the end of the tunnel ladies, and I am so glad we were on the same train! THANK YOU!!

Andria- you always seem to put a smile on my face after reading your posts. Thank You!!! My husband, friends, and son advised me to stay off this site originally. It seemed every time I got on, I would cry even more. As time has gone on, I look forward to seeing if anyone has heard from their recruit and any news from GL. Love getting on here and will stay connected with everyone.
9 days girls!!!
