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."

The R.I. moms/families get together went great. It was wonderful to meet everyone, and share our stories and concerns!Some "native" Rhode Islanders think they need a passport to leave their little area of the state, so we have not decided on a location (or a date) for our next get-together! Hopefully those of you who were not able to attend will join us next time. Hugs :) Lois

My husband and daughter will be coming also.  Nice for the men to have the company!   Did you send me a photo of your son for the slide show?  If not and if you'd like me to include it please email me at donnabreunig@yahoo.com.

Do you still need directions for the packing party?

Lois, Just checking to make sure you got the address. You are a member of MAS We Ship Love" so you have access.

At 7:55pm on November 18, 2012, Pat L. in IL said…

Lois, You are now a member of "MAS We Ship Love" and you have access to the addresses. Sorry if I took a long time, went to a Packing Party in Davenport, Iowa today! Pat

Realized today I can't PM you, have to make you a friend and vice versa!  Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you.  Lots of family things to take care of -- mainly cleaning out my parents' home with my brothers & sisters. My Dad died in Oct. and Mom died 5 weeks later in Nov. They would have been married 60 yrs and lived in that house for 59 of them!  That is a lot of cleaning out...

Hope you will be able to make it next Sunday.

I will PM the info to you.

Lois,

What a nice surprise to find a note from you!!  I was hoping RI Moms wouldn't feel like I was "infiltrating" your group.  I will PM you my addy and phone # along with any final details, hopefully this week-end.

Donna

I saw a note that your son is a CM - Seabee - Reservist. My son is in bootcamp for the same thing. He wanted active but this is what ended up signing up for. What are his chances (if you know) of him getting changed from reservist to full time active?

I sent Marc a card today. OK, he's driving. The PGR here has been known to escort the military along the way. I'll send a message to my PGR contacts and see if something can be worked out. When does he supposedly come home? Just a month is all I need, maybe beginning or end or middle...
At 12:36pm on January 11, 2009, Ruth, Gun's Mom said…
Lois, thanks for the address! I'll make sure he gets on our lists. I think coming home from Iraq is a bit different than coming home on a ship. Our son came home on leave in September and then in December from Afghanistan. Is Marc scheduled to come to Rhode Island? We have a Patriot Guard Riders group here that does flag lines at the airport, so Andy got a wonderful welcome both times. If the PGR won't do it (some only do funerals), if you know Marc is flying in, organize your family, friends, veterans to meet him at the airport as a surprise. I'd think an American Legion or VVA would be excited to help with some flags and posters. In our experience, Andy never knew exactly when he'd be home, just a window of days. They keep them in Kuwait for debriefing for maybe a week till there is either a commercial flight or military flight coming to the States. Does that help any? Keep me posted!
