Make at least change 3 at the bottom of OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes to Your Profile) (clickable link).

There may be other changes you need to make as well, so read and consider each of the changes.

Another change that I recommend that is mentioned in change 1 is to change the ZIP Code to one that is not easily associated with you or your Sailor.

You may also want to check out Destroyer Moms (DDG), Duty Station NAS Oceana, VA Beach VA, and/or Norfolk Sailors - Family & Friends.

I tried to email you & it didn't go through.

I sent you a message here on N4M too so check your inbox.

My sailor is an FC. Too bad he is on hold for ATT school :(

Hello there...saw your post on Navy for Moms about the Zombie book....Do you mind if I use your idea....my kid is always killing zombies on xbox and thought it would be perfect....What a great idea!!

Hi Jackie, how are you? Thanks for adding me as your friend :) It has been a crazy emotional roller coaster ride since my son left on the 16th of Nov. I want to say I've been fortunate enough to have talked to him twice in one week and then a letter shortly after. I haven't got the form letter yet, that's ok as long as I have his address and div.#. His PIR date is Jan. 20th 2012. Asof now he made it as a 2nd Section leader in his div. Pretty tough job but I think he can handle it. My heart has been content since I talked to him and he sounded really good and not miserable. I do miss him a lot, the crying tapers off a little after 1 week, although Sunday is my bad day, it his favorite day of the week, that's our time to watch football, play the football pool and just hanging out with the family. I received the box  and surprisingly, I was pretty calmed. Of course I got emotional when I saw the box, actually hugged the box but then when we opened it I know it's just his dirty clothes that needs to be washed. I finally washed them just this Friday, I had to sniff his shirt before putting in the wash, lol! My baby boy is a man now and I don't really want to dwell the fact that his gone, I'm learning a lot about this whole Navy thing and adjusting to the military life, while he is doing he's adjusting at BC, I'm doing the same. I miss my boy, but I have all the good and bad memories embedded in my mind and heart. Now I want to start creating memories of him being all grown up and mature. I hope you are doing well and coping well. We have another chapter in our lives...this should be an exciting one :) Take care....always here for you, Cristina
