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."

Comment by Elane on June 5, 2011 at 3:31pm: Wow, it sure has been quiet on here lately. Hope all are surviving this cruise and our loved ones, being away.

Many of you are familiar with "Molly's Adopt a Sailor" group, I saw a recent discussion on that site about making those neck cooler things and directions to do so. These are something that could help cool the sailors off and could be worn under their collars of work clothes. As far as I know our ship has not been the recipient of any of their mailings. Is there a reason why any interested crafty/handy person could not make some up and send them to the ship?

Comment by navynana on June 2, 2011 at 12:26pm: Hi RDRPP..doing fine. What's going on with you? Marilyn I did get the notice about the shoebox auction. Got to think of something. Take care and hope all is well with everyone.

Comment by RDRPP on June 2, 2011 at 1:44am: It's been awfully quiet on here. I just wanted to say hello & I hope you all are well & that your sailors are doing fine!

Comment by kab on May 7, 2011 at 8:23am: Happy Mother's Day to everyone -- have a good weekend

Comment by RDRPP on May 6, 2011 at 5:45pm: A soldier, a marine, and an airman got into a fight about which service is best. The fight was so heated, that they killed each other.
Soon, they found themselves in Heaven. They see St. Peter walk by and ask, “Which Branch of Service is the best?”
St. Peter replied, “I can't answer that. But, I will ask God what He thinks the next time I see Him.”
Some time later, the three see St. Peter again and ask him if he was able to find the answer.
Suddenly, a dove landed on St. Peter's shoulder. The dove was carrying a note in its beak. St. Peter opened the note and read it out loud to the three fellows:
“Gentlemen: All the Branches of the Service are ‘Honorable and Noble’. Each one of you has served your country well. Be proud of that.

GOD, USN (Ret.)”

Comment by navynana on May 4, 2011 at 7:06pm: @ccNavyMom- what a lovely gesture for your family. My prayers are with you.

Comment by susanm on May 4, 2011 at 11:54am: I'm not sure, I think he just asked. I'll send my son an email and find out.

Comment by susanm on May 4, 2011 at 12:54am: I'm sorry for your loss. My son missed the funeral of his grandfather who passed away just as the deployment began. One thing that helped was that he wrote a eulogy and emailed it home for someone to read at the funeral. We also emailed him a copy of the bulletin from the church service. A chaplain and a few shipmates went through the church service with him on the same day it was happening back home. They said the prayers, read the scripture readings together, and sang or recited the hymns, so he felt a little bit included even though he couldn't be there. It was still hard but that helped him get through it.
