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."

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on November 24, 2014 at 6:10pm: My4sonsjrbm - The TG's that are not eligible for Adopt-A-Sailor for Thanksgiving have a special meal made for them that day on Base.

The Goodwill are the Folks who cook (daily) for all the Ships on Base. Each Ship has it's own Galley.

Thanksgiving will be treated like a Saturday or a Sunday.

Your TG, 01/09/2014, will remain onboard RTC for Thanksgiving and is eligible for adoption off base for Christmas

Comment by maryjo on November 24, 2014 at 6:03pm: Thanks all for your input on where we should spend Christmas. Haven't decided for sure yet, but value your thoughts!

2 questions: Not sure where our son's A School will be...recruiter said either GL or Pensacola. How do we find out? He's going in to ET or FC. Also, what's the difference between this site and the fb site for our PIR group? Are they both monitored by moderators? Just curious.

      which is the bond of perfection. And let the

      peace of God rule in your hearts, to which

      also you were called in one body; and be thankful."

Comment by diannep on November 24, 2014 at 12:29pm: My4sonsjrbm: Those who have no family up there to visit on Christmas Day will be adopted out in the community by wonderful volunteer groups (church and others) who provide them with a Thanksgiving meal and lend them cellphones to call their families! It is a great day for them. They bus them over there as a group. So your SR will have a great day! Yes, and keep that phone close....chances are, he will call!

Comment by My4sonsjrbm on November 24, 2014 at 12:08pm: OK. In that case what will the 1/09 PIR group be doing for T-Giving? Well they get a dinner either at RTC or somewhere else? We just haven't heard from our SR yet. We are hoping he gets to call on T-giving? Here's to Hope!

Comment by diannep on November 24, 2014 at 11:50am: My4sonsjrbm: This PIR group will have Christmas adopt a sailor, not Thanksgiving. The groups for Thanksgiving are 12/05 and 12/12, and the ones for Christmas are 12/31 and 01/09. So hopefully your SR will send you the form to complete and fax to RTC if you are able to go visit your SR for Christmas!

Good Morning All !

Comment by My4sonsjrbm on November 24, 2014 at 10:18am: I have a question about Adopt-A-Sailor, which groups or individuals take part in this program during Thanksgiving and Christmas? My son went in 13 Nov, ship 13, Div 058.

Comment by CatMom509 on November 23, 2014 at 7:11pm: maryjo,

I think that since your Marine son is older and married and was not around last year at all due to deployment, that I would go to his Christmas celebration. It is alot of work planning and decorating for such a happy event celebrating Jesus' birthday for both sides of the family! He and his wife must be really excited to be able to do this~~ They will surely be disppointed if you are not there.

You will see your SR son only 2 weeks later and most likely (depending on his schooling), he should be able to come home after A school and Christmas 2015~

Like diannep said, he can be adopted out and have a special Navy Christimas! He won't be alone in the barracks...

Comment by CatMom509 on November 23, 2014 at 6:57pm: Blessed Sunday!
