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 everyone! 

 

   I just got the letter from RTC with Ashley's address and grad date (May 06,2011) Does anyone else have a future sailor on the same ship and division?

Facebook had an error message on my page this AM that they were doing site updates or something... said it could take up to 24 hours.

I know, can you believe it?  Trying to look for a purple scarf, but having a hard time, plus purple isn't going to match my dress LOL.  (and I'm the one who picked purple...)

 

 

LOL  well, I haven't gotten my scarf yet, but I did see a bunch of purple ones at Kohl's or the mall.. I need to go down to NYC again and get those $5 scarves! :)

 

Are we all wearing purple scarfs? With all this drama over here I think I missed it.
Yeah, purple was the plan, I found one for $8 at the mall but I'm not spending 8 on something I'm only going to wear once.  I think I'm going to find a dollar store somewhere =)

I love the color purple so I'm excited about wearing that to PIR.  Any word on what the SRs are doing this week or what's happening. My son isn't doing much writing (but I'm doing lots of sending!) so I'm a little starved for news. 

TN Police Wife: I'm so glad you're feeling better.  You've received good advice and support. I'd like to add my wish for it all to work out for you. You sounded so distraught.  ((hugs))

Hope for more letters this week!

This is a day by day sort of outline, I mean it varies kind of, but it will give you a basic idea.

 

They are on 4-1 today, so they are starting their laser gun training or something like that this week.

DL, thanks sister... I feel much better today. Just sharing helped a lot. It's hard to talk to anyone around here, I would be too embarrassed...I know I shouldn't be. but I'm still in that phase that feels like everything she is doing is a reflection on my parenting. 

 

 

Got a letter from my hubby today! What a nice surprise!  they are able to send out letters twice a week now =)  Anyone else receive a letter?

 

SR Knight is in the bunk across from my hubby!  My hubby says they were talking about this site and that Knights mom knows me....Which one is knight again? I get everyone so confused!  (sorry!!)

RIGHT of course, its just hard to keep the names straight with the screen names and stuff!!  I swear, I'm not as absent minded when it comes to meeting face to face!

 

I'll be sure to pass the word on to my hubby lol

I understand Knight is quite a guy! My daughter talks about him in almost every letter! I can't wait to meet both of you! I am SO excited! I told hubby to make reservations at the Ramada, that's where everyone is going to be right?  HEHE Feels like planning for a girls weekend out! LOL
My husband doesn't give many details about people in his letters.  He's way too busy writing to me about his pay check.  (He's very happy to be providing for us now)  I wish he would tell me more about the people and what he's doing then about his pay check....I can look at the bank account all I want but I have no idea whats going on with him!
