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."

Hello Everyone, It was been quite a while since I have been on the page, but since then here are some things that have happened....first of all my hubby and I are going to be celebrating our one year anniversary on June 15th. Also last week he got promoted to petty office (E3) and I couldn't be more proud of him:). He will be deploying very soon which is the sad part, but he did get me a puppy to help with not being lonely. I moved to Florida in March and it is beautiful. Well that is my update. I am a very proud Navy Wife and I am very proud of my amazing hubby:)

Congrats on him being promoted to Petty Officer Third Class (PO3) 

Thank you:)

Congratulations to him on the promotion and happy anniversary. What is his rating (job/specialty) and/or where is he stationed? Perhaps there is a group on here for that so you can connect with others in the same situation.

BTW, if he's a Petty Officer, he's an E-4, but PO3--I know it is confusing, or maybe you left out a letter in the rating when you posted, such as AE3 if he's an Aviation Electrician’s Mate.

Yeah I meant E-4 its confusing for me lol. He is in Jax. He is an AO3 thats where I got confused. And thanks for the congrats:)

You are very welcome. Join the group, AO Moms, Families (clickable link), to connect with others with AO's.
