OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind.  In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships."  OPSEC is everyone's responsibility. 

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."

My son is on his first deployment (USS Harry S Truman) and although I know about when he'll return, I'm not 
sure.  We live about 3 hours away from his port so it's possible to meet him on his return, but can anyone 
advise me on what to expect and how to get a better handle on the date - is it possible to get a time?

They will be able to give you updates, but only if ok-ed by your Sailor to do so.
Other then that get involved with the Family Readiness Group (FRG). Below is the Truman's FRG email address from the command website.

Good Luck,
EMC (SS)
Ma'am please learn about OPSEC. That information can not be given to you over the internet. EMC has pointed you in the perfect direction on learning the details for homecoming and I can tell you that they will tell you if your sailor has not signed you up for the FRG emails, and you havent sent a SASE to the address the FRG provided to get the homecoming packet then its up to your sailor to get your that info by snail mail. And as of now, there is not much mail coming off the ship anymore.
Also join the group for the ship http://www.navyformoms.com/group/ussharrytruman
Its always been for me 3 or 4 months out they gave the month they would return 4-8 weeks out they gave us the week to 10 days that they would be in, and just a day or two out I would get phone call from the DB saying he was in port (he was with an air crew so they fly the helos in when they are a 4 hour flight home. Cell phone work 12 miles out to sea.
