OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

My sailor was on Snow Watch last night. He was shoveling the steps at midnight. He ran out of steps and fell into a 5 ft snow "dune" as he called it. I told my little southern son it is a snow drift- we have dunes at the beach.ROFL

@ZachsinNavymom: Too funny, and it really hits home with me! My son has been texting like crazy! I can't always answer him right away as I teach school (enforcing a "no cell phone" rule when I'm standing there texting... very nice :)) so he'll text Mom? Mom? R u there? I had to remind him that I have a job, lol.
He's gone from bitter Chicago cold to palm trees and springtime (Port Hueneme, CA) and seems to be loving the experience!

Son called last night and said they will be getting over 3ft. Life is good though. He has a cell phone now so he can stay in touch. Hope all are well...

I have heard from my son more lately than I did all summer when he worked out of town. He is also in limbo waiting for his A school to start. But he sounds good. Chicago is about to get another foot of snow. So glad I am in NC.........

Greetings, I just wanted to thank everyone for your prayers and encouragement. We're still in limbo waiting for a medial waiver. Hopefully he'll hear something this week. Other than that, my son is fine. He sounds good and is able to stay in touch via his cell phone. So, it hasn't been too bad.
I hope everyone is doing well.
@Barb - Cold ain't the word for it. I don't think I've ever experienced that kind of cold they have in Chicago. I don't know how or why people live there. I just couldn't do it.

@surfermom
Have you heard any details about the A school from your son? I've talked to mine very briefly but I don't know many details as usual. Hope you're feeling better after your cold last week.

By the way, I said the young man we sent cards to was headed to Texas. I was wrong. He's in Mississippi now.
