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."

He's doing watch quals this weekend, but I let him know for the future! :) Thanks again so much. I'm always amazed at what a great resource this site has proven to be.
How's Mike doing preparing for comps??

So far so good. He and I spoke late this morning. He is only on 2 hour mandatory study time, but thinks that he will put in 5 hours today just to feel at ease about tomorrow. He told me that he had room inspections on Thursday and after comp, a uniform inspection either Tuesday or Wednesday. I think Mike is more excited about having dinner at our favorite NYC restaurant than graduation!
When is your trip??

Haha I don't blame him! I move back to CA tomorrow and I might be more excited to have my favorite foods again then I am to be done with nursing school!! haha
Will say a prayer that comps go well tomorrow! Know it will be so nice to be DONE!
When do you see Mike? Are you going to grad or is he flying home soon after?
My trip is the 12th...counting down :) :)

Mmm.. California. What part? I visited my family in San Francisco and went to foodie heaven for 3 days.
He's flying up here Friday night and will be in town for a few days. Then we're going to do a three day road trip down so he can bring his car to the base.
Is your trip all set? What fun stuff do you guys have lined up for your vacation?

Southern CA....born and raised there. I've been in Indiana for the past 15 months for school and am done tomorrow!
That will be great to have him around to spend time with :) Are you guys hoping for Prototype in NY?
We don't really have too much planned....any ideas for us? I definitely want to see downtown Charleston, for sure. Maybe the plantations...not sure! Open to whatever the trip brings!!

We're open to wherever the Navy takes us in this pipeline journey. No preference :)
Downtown Charleston is beautiful. Savannah isn't too far away (about 2.5 hours) so if you can do out of town trips, definitely check that out. Don't forget sushi at O-Ku (on King Street). Happy hour (from 5-7) is great :) As far as beaches go, I like Isle of Palms over Folly Beach. Mt. Pleasant has some nice areas (where Old Village Post Inn & Restaurant is) so that might be a good place to hang out.

Congratulations to Class A for a job well done! And congratulations to Mike for all of his accomplishments! I have a little wait until I go to my son's graduation, but I am looking forward to going to Charleston-October should be nice. Class M is moving along...

maryquitecontrary - Will you be going to the A school graduation? My husband and I will be going. I talked with my son today and he wants to send us to a nice restaurant for our anniversary when we are there. We will be married 26 years on 10/12 so I think we will go on Friday while he relaxes at the hotel. I can't believe how he has matured since he has joined the Navy!
