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."

I will try to send a friend invite. I'm not so good with this either!

rjh - send me a friend invite if you want. I've sent a facebook msg to my son. He was active 1 day ago so he may not be deployed right now. I tried to invite you but I'm rusty on how to do so.

Dear Tx Mom of Far Away Nuke:
Thanks so much for your fast response. We have been talking via Face time. She is trying to get everything else all sorted out. It is just so far. I have assured her the time change and jet lag will pass. I love this site. It makes me feel better to be able to communicate with moms going through the same things. It was a life saver for boot camp.

rjh: I would offer my son as tour guide for Guam but I believe he's gone out for a few months. It didn't take my son long to make friends so that helped. He deactivated his USA cell phone and got a Guam phone to help keep costs down. Get Skype and Facebook Messenger if you can. They are both great ways to communicate. My son learned how to scuba dive and sky dive all within a few months of moving there. Believe me, I wasn't thrilled with the sky diving part nor the snorkeling at night. They are growing up. She will acclimate to the time change eventually. I wish you and her the best!

My daughter is a MA. She just finished A school, came home for a 2 week leave and arrived in Guam yesterday. She is so homesick and scared. She didn't realize she would feel this way so she is really thrown by these feelings. She has been calling home crying so often it is breaking my heart. She actually enjoyed boot camp and loved A school so my husband and I are feeling so bad for her. She feels so alone and of course is having trouble with the time change. Any suggestions?

I don't think so. Not at the moment anyway. I'm sure I will come up with stuff once it gets closer to when he leaves.
Thanks!

Are you planning on attending the graduation. It is worth your time. We live in MI and traveled to Groton a couple times. Nice area. You may want to eat at Pauls Pasta. You can tour a sub there. I see you had the same trouble as I did. Could not get it to accept my comment and then it showed up several times. You can delete some of those by clicking on the x on your page.
Any other questions?

He is a Hull Technician. Yes this is his first station. He is finishing BECC soon then will do his actual A school training. Then he is off to Guam.

His home port is Guam.
PSC is permanent change of station. My son was in Hawaii and now is in Guam for shore duty.
What is you sons rate(job). Is this his first assignment?

PCS?
He is assigned to a ship that calls Guam home. Does that make sense? The USS Emory S Land. All very new to me.
