Can someone out there PLEASE tell me what this is all about and what to expect? We go really soon. DH deploys right after. We are having issues communicating, partially due to the fact that we've barely seen eachother this week and also we are stressed. He is telling me that we all have to go to this, kids included. Ok, that is fine - I think my biggest worry and concern is that it's all day and my littlest one naps. DH told me there is some type of "daycare" there for the little ones. Besides the fact that my little guy is rarely, rarely left in the care of someone else, I'm worried that he won't take/get a nap and....well, I'm afraid he will just melt down. He's 1. Does he have to go? I'd much rather leave him with my BIL....and what is this daycare my husband is speaking of?? Are there accommodations for him to take a nap? I'm sorry if this seems confusing. I guess I want someone to talk to me about it and reassure me... I have a 4 year old as well, but he's older, doesn't nap, adapts easily to his surroundings and new people, ect.

Re: Yellow Ribbon Ceremony, Family Readiness Day, ect.
I'm not real sure about the ceremonies but if it were me I would take the 4 yr old and leave your 1 yr old with your BIL. I don't think they will miss your LO at the ceremony especially if he was going to be in DC anyways. I think the DC settings depend on where they are hosting the ceremony at. Usually, and someone can correct me if I'm wrong because I've never used the DC at a function before but the CDC usually provides people to watch your children.
Sorry this is rambling but good luck to you and YH.

Very big on it. Much better to be safe than sorry. It sounds like your taking it a bit personally, and it's not personal. Loose lips sink ships.
Didn't take it personal? Just explaining my thought process.

Ok, just sounded like in the previous post you were trying to justify that you hadn't been told or didn't know not to post certain info. So just making sure you understand that it's not just you and overall we keep dates/times and any other info like that private. You should read the OPSEC rules if you were unclear that you shouldn't post certain information.
