Growing up with the military, it's common sense not to publicly announce any sort of date or location unless told that it's ok. Parker told me the specific people he wanted to know when he was coming home. I shared it with a few close and trustworthy friends who he knows have kept me strong since he's been gone, as well as my family so they can start preparing for the days that he will be spending at my house soon after he gets home.
Of course, his mom was on the list of people he wanted me to tell. No big deal. All my friends and family know not to share this date with anyone and when they talk to me, they don't even mention the day, just that he's coming home soon. Apparently she doesn't know any of that and posted on Facebook a date saying that that is when he is leaving Iraq. Seriously? I laughed when I first saw it because she got the day wrong and I know I told her the correct date but I soon got over it and sent her a message telling her why she needs to take it down. If she thinks I'm rude for telling her to take it down, so be it. This date has not been publicly released and I have been getting an email a day from the FRG since this date was given to the soldiers in Parker's company reminding me about OPSEC.
I really do hope she takes it down soon....
