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."

rodgirl,
You should have join the IKE group a lot sooner, made friends with some of the moms, gone to the HC, hung out with the others. It's a free country. As long as you don't ask him to pay for the cost of air fair, hotel, food etc. he should not be able to dictate to you what you should and shouldn't do. But let's face, you are his mother. If he has a girl friend and she is there waiting for him - it's understandable that the first thing he wants to do is spend time with her continuously in a hotel somewhere. I know we moms want to be there to welcome our babies home with open arms but those aren't the arms his dreaming of. So, take a deep breathe, take a crying towel from one of us and we'll share your frustrations with you.
