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."

Thanks for the get-acquainted offer but Smee is one of the San Diego aircrew. I just bought a ticket to go to HNL and, hopefully, see the ship pull into Pearl Harbor. Pat, Nimitz expert, thinks I 'll have a better chance of getting a tour of the ship there. Plus I'll see my son a week earlier.
Your husband is very lucky. Instead of inviting either of his parents, Smee invited a fellow Eagle Scout. He just enlisted and goes to boot camp in February. I guess it'll be good for him to go see what he's in for.
Best wishes for safe travels, us in getting to ship and ship in getting home.

My son had a frocking ceremony around June 8 in Coronado, CA. I'm guessing the pix you sent were just of sailors that are stationed on the Nimitz? Do you know of other pix that may have been taken of North Island sailors/airmen? Mine is also an Eagle Scout. I didn't realize there's an Eagle Scout mom page.

Christine ~ I remember that life; 70 hours a week was the norm! I left the firm a year ago and went into government accounting. Right now that is only about 48 hours a week - add that to more tax. Take care of yourself and have a great end of tax season! ~ : ) ~kk

Alright, we know we're on the Navy for Mom's website, and we share stories of our sailors and what they do in the Navy and how proud we are of them. With Fathers Day this Sunday I just want to know that as a wife and a mom I wouldn't have the fine young men that I have the prevlidge of calling my sons.

My sailor son wanted to join the Navy when he was eight years old and watched "Top Gun", I know my son isn't the only one who was influenced by that movie, but God had it in…

09/25/09 PIR Weekend (Ship 06/Div 945)

Posted on September 27, 2009 at 11:37pm 0 Comments

Wow, what a weekend! The redeye flight was packed, it was harder to sleep on the plane from Sacramento to Houston because we were so excited about going. The flight from Houston to Milwaukee was good, got a good nap on that flight. Due to construction on the highways, we got lost (Cal says we were just diverted) for about 15 minutes getting out of Milwaukee, but got to Waukegan with no trouble, checked into the hotel early, which was nice, and got in a little nap after settling… Continue
