The 10 Year War
My Goddess, has it been that long? I saw this statement (the post title) in a recent article I read and it made me stop and think. It has been 10 years since the towers fell, it has been 10 years since there was a gaping hole tore in the side of the Pentagon and [...]
OPSEC, the basics….
January 31, 2011 by Megan
Filed under Deployment, Megan, The Way I See It
While there are basic rules for OPSEC there are also command specific rules. RULE # 1 (and really the only rule you really need to know): Ask your command about how OPSEC applies to you. No one else, can give you the specifics of how OPSEC applies to you and your command but your command [...]
A letter to my husband.
I have been archiving photos of my family, mostly from the 50s and up , and while doing so I’ve come across a few interesting things. One of the things I found kind of made a few other things fall in place and help me understand a few things. The topic that this letter (really [...]
Settling In
So we made it across the USA in no more than a week. I left GA in my VW Routan towing my 74 VW Thing, with a total weight of 8360 lbs, mind you my van has a curb weight of only 4,650 lbs. So we were a heavy load! When we finally got on [...]
Women on Subs
This controversal topic is bound to come up time and time again before and after the hand-picked JO’s arrive at their assigned boats. So why don’t I just join in on the multitude of blog posts now on the subject. Last night I attended an All hands, base wide, last-minute, super secret (ok not really), discussion about [...]

Traveling Across the States
So the time came to make the drive across the states. Since I left GA early, my husband met me up in VA where I was spending some time with my family before the trip across. Turns out my family had decided to keep the boys and hubby’s family took our daughter so that we [...]
Saying Good-Bye
The house was packed up and it was time to leave…. wait, not it wasn’t time to leave. We saved all of our cleaning for after the house was packed up, so we were scheduled to stay an extra week in the house after pack out. Of course our first order of business once the [...]
Packing Out
So more than a few weeks ago we had the house packed out. Since we’d never done it before, we tried to prepare the best we knew how. We made sure to eat all of our perishables and use all of our cleaning supplies and such. We set aside what we needed to take with [...]
It’s this week!
So, we just got back from our vacation. We spent two weeks at hubby’s parents. It was a lot of fun, and definitely went by way too fast. Seems like just yesterday we drove down there, but now we’re back home. It was needed… I was stressing way to much about the move, and hubby [...]
