    You are inviting to join the SF Bay Area Navy Families group. Our emphasis will be from the Bay to and including Alameda, Contra Costa & Sonoma Counties. We have a number of families in the East Bay. Come visit when you get a chance. Click on “+ Join SF Bay Area … “ to join. I am hoping that with a smaller geographical base, topics of interest will be more relevant and everyone will feel more at home. I am the creator and admin of the group. Best wishes to your.

    My son Sam doesn't tell me anything, though he shares more details with his dad, a former A-ganger on the Cavalla.  Sam is an electrician's mate, wanted to be a machinist's mate. 

    I'm concerned about all the guys in the path of the weather today.  Thanks for your updates here.

    I see you have changed your Username so that it no longer contains your last name (probably some time ago); you also need to change the URL to this page. Make change 2 at the bottom of OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes to Your Profile) (clickable link) to take care of that. (If you are using a Smart phone, you will need to switch to Desktop View to make this change.)

    Also make change 3 while you are there so that this page is no longer open to EVERYONE (Anyone) with access to the web.

    There may be other changes you need to make as well, so read and consider each of the changes.

    Another change that I recommend that is mentioned in change 1 is to change the ZIP Code to one that is not easily associated with your Sailor.
