Cheffiona I am very happy for you that you hear from B as often as you do...I feel really connected when you talk about her!!!! I have never gotten the impression of you bragging either!!!

 

@BM3Simswife I agree it would have to have been torture to wait weeks for a letter.

Cheffiona-ive never gotten the impression of you "bragging" I like to hear about what your daughter has to say. And I am happy that you get to hear from he as often as you do. I hear from my husband usually once a day and I can't imagine how the people before internet survived :)

My daughter does not blab she only tells me stuff that she is allowed and as these sites are monitored constantly for info that should not be posted. I don't ask her anything just general stuff.

Imnot bragging about the fact that she emails all the time I lovebeing able tocontact her this much we are close! Well if I have upset people with my posts then I'm sorry it was not my intention to Bragg I thought we were supposed to be here to help eachother while r sailors are at sea and if anyone hears from their sailors it's nice to hear.

On another topic I heard from a buddy of my sons that is on the Boxer and he received the package that I sent him back earlier this month, so that should mean that my son will get his any day if he hasn't already. It's funny I hear more from my son's buddy then I do my son...oh well...that's kids for ya...gotta love em!

@dogwalker I was not implying that you do not hear from your husband everyday, I am very glad and happy for you that you do, but there are some like me that do not hear from their sailor everyday my son has a wife and three children at home of his own and he spends his available time talking to them which is as it should be. So I enjoy hearing the others on this site talking about getting to speak to their sailors.

 

I can't say that I have seen any information here recently that would jeopardize the ships or the sailors, but it is quite possible that I missed a posting at some point. Since N4M as far as I am aware of is a Navy sponsored site I would think that they (meaning those that host the site) would know the full strength of OPSEC, and I also believe that if a sailor was given information that they were not to repeat then they would be given that order and would follow it.

I do hear from my husband every day. But have you thought that maybe some don't like others bragging about the fact that they have since some might not have heard from them in a while. I am simply saying, just because other groups post their info does not necessarily mean it is ok. N4M does not know the true strength of OPSEC.

 

I wasn't saying that hearing from your sailors is a bad thing. I was simply saying that sometimes as has been the case recently, sailors are told information that is pertinent to their job or whatever and then they blab it to their families when they are not supposed to. If information is ok to be given to the families, the ombudsmen will be the ones to delivery that info, not your sailor. You sailor does not have the authority frankly speaking!

Thank you!  As the ships website had previously shown pics and talked about an a previous barbie and other groups also post this info and about the ice cream socials i did nto see that much of a problem  I understand that not everyone hears from their sailors as much as say I do but I feel like Michelle said its nice to hear from whoever can get a chance to email etc and I too have a daughter on the ship and want them to remain safe as well!

Michelle, well said!  My husband and the father of my child is on the ship as well.  Obviously, every single one of us want the ship and our sailors safe.

@dogwalker I agree with you on your comments about keeping our sailors safe. But I do not see the harm in mentioning wether we hear from our sailors as it gives us a chance to cheer when one of us does here from them. Some of the sailors on board are able to contact home more easily then others, so it is kind of like we are hearing from our own when someone else shares a communication they had with their sailor with us. But yes, we must keep in mind that we should never mention directly about locations or the moral status, but mentioning that they get an icre cream social or BBQ I do not believe is violating any standards or rules that I have read so far here on N4M nor that it would endanger them in any way.
