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."

I'm glad to finally meet some moms from Jody's division. I'm starting to plan the trip but it's kind of a mess. Nothing major, just timing is weird. My daughter's senior homecoming is the 3rd. I know that I am flying back Saturday morning to be home in time to see her off. I'm not sure if we're are driving and I fly home or we are all flying. My poor girl is torn because she wants to see her brother but she doesn't want to miss her senior year activities. :( I told her that whatever she decided no one would be mad at her. I think that made her feel better.
Hope to get to know you better.

Happy to find some others in the same division also! That is hard when you have conflicting activities! We are coming from the West Coast so once we are there, we're there for the weekend!

I'm from the Midwest. It's only a 9 hour drive so that's possible. In fact, I prefer to drive...I hate flying. Did anyone get only 1 sock in their box???

Hello PIR Oct 3rd Moms! My SR is Oct 3rd as well.
How are ya'll doing? We are doing the talking on travel plans. Anyone thought about Sarge's Meet and Greet? How does staying at the Navy Lodge work, have you ladies found a page that explains it better than others here? The 1 sock is funny! I liked the rolled up boxers in the boots in my SR's box, he must have known I would need a good laugh at the point of receiving it!
