Happy Cinco De Mayo ladies! Hope this finds everyone enjoying Spring and May and flowers and warm breezes and everything! I don't expect much from my son for Mothers Day but I do think he will at least email me (assuming he remembers). That's OK tho..I know I'll be seeing him again soon-ish and I have lots to look forward to. Raise your margarita glasses high ladies...One Day Closer! *clink* Cheers!
Does anyone know if our Sailors can buy pics of awards that happen while on ship? or are they just in the cruise book?
DurrichShip: No offense was taken. I was just surprised by your comment cuz I didn't think I had said anything that was against the OPSEC rules. All is good. Appreciate your apology. I too apologize back for causing you to worry. Yes, God bless you all! My comments below were to try to make light of a potentially tense/awkward situation.
Carol Ann sorry if you were offended about my ?? And opsec.i just react based on what my 2 sons caution me on in particular related to any jobs or interest based on this being an open view site......as a military family for over 20 years I am very cautious .. God bless you all.
Too Tall: Thanks for being nice. I had never had anyone scold me before for that in the 6 years my son was in, but I did understand why. I think that person wanted to halt me before something was said that shouldn't be. With all that's going on and the nerves of some being stretched with worry and stress I completely understood and took it with a grain of salt. The mother I had asked the question of actually responded to me aside and answered my question and told me not to worry about offending anyone. Even had another one reach out to me aside too and tell me the same thing. All is good. I don't hold grudges. I only wish the BEST for you all and your children and understand completely what the worry is like. And believe me, I am a Momma Bear too when it comes to my children!
Hi Everyone and welcome new mom's! When I heard from my sailor he mentioned a new address? I have a package to mail him. Has anyone heard of a new change?
Hang in there. I agree it would be very difficult for Sailors with young children.
