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."

Hey Wade- Sorry, I forget to check this group sometimes! Vince's PIR is 5/21... we missed you by a week. I love downtown Senoia... it's so cute. There's a little coffee shop that I used to go to when I'd drive that way to work. It's adorable and the people are so friendly. They're really building the downtown area up!

I haven't been on here in a while either. Yes Senoia is growing thanks to the Movie Studio. We just opened up another restuarant called Founders. Do not know anything about it. I haven't had a chance to try it yet, not with my daughters PIR just around the corner. So have you got all resv. for PIR yet?? If you have any questions at all PM me and I will help you out. I have been to one PIR back in Oct with my son, now going for my second and last with my youngest daughter!!!!

Senioa is really pretty but a good drive from our house. We had bought two golden retriever puppies from a family there about 10 years ago. I just loved how open the area was but I suspect that may be changing over the years.

Yes we are growing but not too big, I don't want it to turn into another PTC. I love the quietness of senoia..i like the growth but I want to keep the small town feel I fell in love with years ago!!!

Hi smbjboyd, Nick qualified for the Nuke program but his dad was an FC (fire control) which is part of the AECF program, Advance Electronics, Computer Field. Nick wanted to go down the same path so he's spent almost two years in school and now is with his first ship in Hawaii. We do have Nukes in our group here :-)
