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."

Hello Ladies,

Our lunch was fun just like the last one.  We added a new mom to the group that meets and hopefully it keeps growing. Our next get together is set for March 16th and then a mom from Dallas is coming for a visit and we are all trying to meet with her on March 20th. for dinner.  I will keep updating the post as I get information and hopefully there will be new moms to meet.

Queenjailyle... My son is a CS on a sub stationed in Hawaii.  He has been in since June 2012.  He has his car and motorcycle with him.  I hope you can meet with us on our next luncheon or dinner.

Welcome to our new moms!! I have been trying to get some discussions going on this page. So on that note; at what stage in the Navy process is your sailor?

 

My son is a Nuke currently in school in South Carolina.  He has been there since June 2, 2012. He will probably be there a while longer as he is due to graduate Power school in May and still has prototype to get through.

Comment by Queenjailyle on February 13, 2013 at 3:22pm

Remember everyone, a get together has been set for Saturday. Thank you snj1959 for doing that. Hope everyone is well.

 

My son got married on January 1. He is adjusting to that and he's dealing with some stress from school.  He's still passing right now but is very worried. Right now in addition to being in school all day he has about 30 hr of manditory study time.I just keep praying and I know that God has a plan in all this.

 

Comment by Sailor14 on November 23, 2012 at 2:46pm

Our Sailor's PIR was Nov 21 Div 014 Ship 014 and is on his way to San Antonio today.  I hope a few of his ship mates will be joining him or at least keep in contact.

 So very proud of all that he has accomplished in this short time.

  I hope to hear about graduation dates, etc. in the next few weeks.
