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."

Update on my husband!!

Posted on February 3, 2011 at 3:12pm 2 Comments

 

 

Ok now i'm able to sit down and share what my husband wrote:

 

Friday Dec. 31, 2010

 

He says that he received all my letters from Dec. 14th-20th and has been reading them and enjoying the card and pictures. He's sorry about the letters jumping around, they've been sooo busy the past 3 weeks.

He really misses us but the letters I sent him give him strength to keep going.

 

He's…

He was so worried about getting in trouble that he wanted to throw them away. :( They weren't risque at all (fully clothed, just cutesy 50's pin up style,) but he was worried about getting in trouble for having them. He said I have too much cleavage. Huh. What has the Navy done to my husband?!?!?? I cried. I was so proud of how they turned out and was so excited for his reaction and that's what I got. I hope yours went over better.

Did your hubby get your pictures yet? I hope you got a better reaction than I did...

No worries. Indoctrination happens the first week of A school, from what I understand from the discussion board. He has to request the paperwork for either on or off base housing and it is called a "Live Ashore" packet or chit. If it's off base, he has to submit a dummy lease with it. If the Navy is going to move you, he also has to attend a briefing before the move. This is all stuff I've picked up on the AECF wives section, so I'm not the primary source, but they are women that are living with their husbands during A school right now. :) Good luck. I hope that helps. I know how frustrating it is when no one answers your questions.

Hey waiting. He needs to fill out a Live Ashore packet for either on or off base... I don't know if he can do it until indoc after pass in review. It all depends on if his orders are accompanied or not. If they're not, I heard the chances of his live ashore getting approved are zero... See if there's a group on here for his job. That's where I'm getting most of my questions answered about A school. Good luck.

Hi!  Welcome to Texas' Moms!  I just want to let you (and your PIR group) know something that I wished I had known three years ago.

FEBRUARY 21 is President's Day (the Monday following your PIR)!!  This is a FEDERAL Holiday!  My son got liberty that day three years ago!  I would make plans according to this - or at least ask him!  I had to pay extra to stay over.  There was NO WAY I was going to turn my son down when he asked me to stay!

What a great letter!! I'm glad you heard from him again! Next time you write, ask him if he knows "California". That's Chris, my son. and his new Bootcamp issued nickname.  I can't wait hear from him again!!
At 3:19pm on January 7, 2011, Dani_Girl (ET wife) said…
Yay! I am SO glad yours came!
