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."

So I come home from work get in the shower and my husband calls me and tells me he's on his way. He comes in and says he hit something on the freeway and messed up the side of his truck and wants me to go see it. And I'm thinking oh gosh why is this happening? I get to the truck and I'm walking around to the side, and my Sailor (my daughter) jumps out.... Omg I just balled my eyes out. I thought my daughter was still on hold at A school in Pensacola but no she graduated and was surprising her… Continue

Right now when we get his letter, we will be in the planning stage and the fund raising stage so we can go to his graduation. At first we were not gonna go but he kind of put us on the spot when he said see you at graduation. So, we are going to be doing away with alot of stuff we really don't need to do just so we can go. I wish there was a cheaper way to go. We have a 15 hour or more drive if we drive. Well, this is just me venting and trying to figure things out. Any info you can give would be greatly appreciated.
