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."

Today (2/4/12) I got an email that the Bataan would be livestreaming the homecoming for those who cannot be pierside. I still don't know about the arrival date, but will have the site up for when it comes in since we can not be there this time. Also, a youtube video stated that this was the longest deployment for the Bataan - so I know everyone is happy that our sailors and the marines with them will be home!

Correction - this is the longest Navy ship deployment since the 1970's per the You Tube video. Hoping to hear from my son soon! Happy Homecoming to all!

Hi All, My daughter has recently joined the crew and has only been on the ship since Jan. 9th. This is her second enlistment. She had been on the Truxtun for a while before having her baby and is a CS2. She also has spent a few months in A'stan teaching sanitation. Since she has been away, she has only been able to get to a computer once. As I understand it, there are only about 15 computers with hit or miss internet access for somewhere around 2100 crew members. Interesting that I heard from her every day when she was in A'stan but understandable being on a ship this time. As everyone, we are waiting for their safe return.
