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."

Good morning all! Looks like everyone is hanging in there - like a hair in a biscut! LOL! So glad to hear of the coming home and times well spent with family.
Heres my update, yall might want to sit down for this one!!! My son calls me the other night and says "Ummm...Mom I need to tell you something." My reply was, as long as you aren't calling me to tell me you're a Dad, tell me. He proceeds to tell me NO he is not going to be a Dad but something just as close! !@#$% %^^&*!!!! I said many bad words!! He met a girl the second week in Goose Creek and has asked her to marry him. !#$% ^&&*!!! I'm still saying bad words!! Crazy train?? Oh God!! EVery question I had and every reason he shouldn't just spewed from my mouth within about 10 seconds!! He knew I needed time for this so he called me back a few hours later. Heres the plan. It will be a long engagement. They will finish school and get past their first deployment before they decide to actually marry. Ok...I'm better now. I'm looking at about three years., I can deal with this. I guess its better to be comitted to someone while there instead of sleeping around with everybody, right? Things could be worse, she could be pregnant, right? Ok, so he loves a girl, if thats the worse thing that happens while my son is in the Navy, I should consider myself blessed, right? I'm looking for the silver lining, the good that can come from two very young people trying to make it in the big wide world. Better to do with someone, than be alone, right? I hear its lonesome out there! This too shall pass. I got to pull up my big girl panties, because if I dont, yall will surely see my a$$!!!
Happy Friday, yall!!!
Hello All-I have calmed down since my last post. Susan, you had me laughing so hard. I really needed that.
My sailor thinks his pay will still be cut but he is going to the White Sox games for free and is very excited. He is still in GL and don't know when he will be going to Norfolk. I miss my baby and I want to see him.
Well Sisters, it is time to get ready for the work week. Love to all and have a wonderful night and week.
