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."

Hi Dee, Happy Friday!!

Sorry we didn't get to meet you at the "Meet and Greet". We decided to take a nap, and ended up sleeping through it... Wasn't the graduation ceremonie awesome!?! Our son is staying in Chicago for A School for 4 weeks, gets to come home for 2 weeks, and then he's off to Japan!! And I thought Chicago was far away!!!

Anyways, I hope you had a wonderful visit with your son... Congrats Navy Mom!!!!  ~ Virginia

HI Dee!

 

 I just got off the phone with my son... He sounded really tired, but happy! He said that everyone from both division passed Battle Stations!!! I am just soooo excited about seeing him on Friday that I can't concentrate on anything else... lol

 

We will be arriving in Chicago Thursday morning, and will be staying at the Navy Lodge… We’re planning to go to the Meet & Greet at the Ramada Inn; will you be there? I would really like to meet you in person! :)

 

Hope you hear back from you soon...

 

Hugs,

Virginia

We went to the Hancock Tower! So glad we did. It will always be a memory that we all will share. Also, because my son was in uniform (his peanut-butters, as he calls them) our entire family got discounted tickets. At the Museum of Science & History, only he was discounted. The museum was nice...but it really took alot of time and less personal visiting time.

I know what you mean... The waiting without any news is the hardest part!!

I finally received some letters from my son this week. There were 3 letters, each writen about a week apart from eachother... The first one he sounded like he might quit; the second one he just sounded homesick; and the third one he said that he was going to stick it out!! I think when boot camp is done, he is going to be happy he stuck with it, are realize that it really wasn't that bad!! lol

I hope you've received some news from you son too, and that he is doing well!!

Talk to you soon...

Hugs,

Virginia
