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."

P says he just downloaded ciws in a couple inches of snow and completely lost all feeling in his hands in the process.
there is snow on the main deck..we might have a snowball fight later...its crazy when u can be inside the ship and see your breath.
I have been crazy busy getting out equipment up.

let me go hunt that e mail from Navy news. I archive them and don't delete them!

In the meantime, there is a Navy artist named "Sketch" who is on RFD-TV at 1:30 Central time. Its channel 231 on dish or direct. Its called Texas Country Reporter, its usually after Georgia monitor, California Country, etc.

There were two videos today on navy.mil.
One was the 7th fleet band and the other one was USS BR pounding rice specially made into a sticky paste at the anniversary of US/Japan strategic alliance. and eating black sesame something at the end. Just when you think you know about world cuisines... This is very interesting.

Last time I talked to Katie was the day they had just got underway, she was sad because she was leaving her hubby, I said but it's only a few weeks this time she said yes I know but it's never easy, I said I bet. Kathleen tell Jonis to go give her a Bigg huggg from her mommy!!

It takes a little while before they get their sea legs, I remember Katie's first cruise she said she got headaches and felt funny but never got sick. I remember on 1 of there cruises they were following a typhoon in and she called and said Mom I got my sea legs I said what do u mean she said well there were a lot of people sick and that the ship was really rocking but she didn't get sick she was fine!!
Molly do u email Tucker at his work email?? I always send to Katie's work and her home email when I want to tell her something, it's usually the work 1 that she responds from. I bet you other son will sure have lots of stories to tell Bless Them All.
