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."

We are bringing the whole family which is two sisters, a niece and a brother. I haven't gotten a letter in more than a week but I think they are pretty busy. I don't know about you but I can barely breathe sometimes waiting for the next two weeks to go by. Tommy leaves Saturday as well for Connecticutt but at least CT is only five hours from home so we may drive up there for Christmas on the off chance we get to see him. He wants me to bring his guitar so he can play it after PIR. I can just see our entourage on the plane with a guitar and four kids in tow. Yes we will look for you at the Ramada on Thursday.

So glad to have you with us!!!! And thank you for the friend request!! Let me know if there is anything we can do for you!!!
I just saw your posts on the WA/OR group page that you have a daughter in boot camp now. I want to welcome you to come join our Mothers of Daughters 2 group. We are a friendly, caring, supportive group of moms who are always willing to listen, share, and help if needed!! Feel free to jump in and join our chat - there is usually someone on every day and even if you just want to talk about your family, weather, job - whatever, we are there to listen and help you on this journey!!! Come brag about your sailor's accomplishments, but also feel free to vent, yell, whine, or complain when you miss her and don't know what is going on in her life. My daughter has been in for over two years now and is stationed in WA. I also have a son serving and another daughter is in an officer program still going to college. Here is the lnk to our group:
