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."

Hi Blondie! Wanted to say hello and remind you to post under the discussion what does your sailor do. The discussions are so we can go to ONE PLACE to find info quick and fast and not have to search all the pages of our "CHATS"!!!
Great to have you here. I've been very busy, not much time these days ya'll, as you know I miss you. Just wanted to say - I got a call yesterday my husband said - from our sailor - and I was at work. :-(
Good news, he has some fantastic photos posted on FB, and he looks so handsome with his M203! Cant wait to see pics of him in his blues he promised me. He told his dad they are leaving _________. Can someone fill me in via group mail? I thought he was going back to San Diego for a 3rd C school, (updates and conversions) but thats probably this summer.

That's good I know in Italy it was 18 and she was 19 I called her my wild child, I told her I didn't know who she was for 4 months that's how long it took her to realize how much money she was wasting on alcohol.
She learned quickly.

I'm very Glad that Jonis watches out for them especially when they've been drinking LOL, he even walked Katie to the Bathroom that day. The funny thing is she's not much of a drinker, so that Vodka must of been really strong!!
Jonis is a really Good friend to Katie and Yes he watches out for Her!! Kathleen you Raised a Great Guy there!!! Good Job Mom!!!
Blondie I don't know if your daughter has been out of the country or not, but the drinking age is 18 so beware. My Katie usually don't drink much she got that outta her system in Italy LOL, let's say she learned some expensive lessons in Italy!! She was 19 and gee all of a sudden to be able to drink was funnn, she's now 23 and it's not as much funn as it used to be LOL.
