Comment by Stacy (mom of Ruthie) on March 20, 2010 at 11:18pm: JM : good to hear how Aub is doing & that your have become her anchor :-)
I'm sure she's doing awesomely & looking forward to her C school. God bless your son as he prepares for his new career...wow!
Ladies, please keep my husband & I in your thoughts & prayers.....we leave tomorrow for a Tiger Cruise!! We are so excited it feels like Christmas Eve for a kid, the anticipation is so high. Thanks for being here & I'm looking forward to sharing our pictures with all of you :-)

Comment by JM-ISmomx2 on March 19, 2010 at 1:12am: Aub is doing well. She just finished A school and recently got her security clearance for Intel specialist. She should pick her orders and C school speciality tomorrow. Our son who will also become an Intel specalist does not go in until Sept. 27th, but is hoping to go in early. We are taking each day as it comes. and I still haven't come to terms with a second one going in. I do think that Aub being in has strengthened our relationship. I kind of like being her anchor in the storm. Since things have gone up and down since she has gone in, at least emotionally. Thanks for asking Darsete.

Comment by KatK on January 6, 2010 at 3:20pm: Just read an article in the Navy Times about extremists targeting US Navy ships. To read whole article go to Navytimes.com. Here is part of the article:

ne Dec. 30 post, translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute, calls for readers to assemble and submit information about American ships and their crews in chilling detail:

“Information on every U.S. naval unit — and only U.S. [units]! — should be quietly gathered [as follows:] [The vessel’s] name, the missions it is assigned; its current location …; the advantages of this naval unit; the number of U.S. troops on board, including if possible their ranks, and what state they are from, their family situation, and where their family members (wife and children) live; what kind of weapons they carry; the [vessel’s] destination …; the missions it has carried out; the way to monitor it around the clock; if its location is changed, define its movements and its route; monitor every Web site used by the personnel on these ships, and attempt to discover what is in these contacts.”

The writer, whose handle is “Ubada bin Al-Samit” and who posted on a Web forum called Al-Falluja, assured readers every item would be useful:

“My Muslim brothers, do not underestimate the importance of any piece of information, as simple as it may seem; the mujahideen, the lions of monotheism, may be able to use it in ways that have not occurred to you.”

The posts were provided to Navy Times by MEMRI spokesman Richard Wachtel, who said his group does not usually see comments that call so specifically to target American warships. Also significant, he said, was that the post was a response to an official call from the Yemeni terror group, al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, to Muslims: “Kill the crusaders in the Arabian Peninsula on land, in the air, and at sea.”

We need to be very careful about what we write about our kids and their ships especially if these extremists can use this info against our kids.
