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."

seems my son missed an exam he wanted to take because mailclerk stopped him i got yelled at for not putting R2 on the address.. i did put R2 on the addresss just what his brother and he sent to me.. he did apologize...why do they have to be so bad.. the clerks that is... hopefully some one mentioned taking an exam on sept 15th so he can take his then..  i don't get much communication... and his sister isn't talking to me so i can't ask her. (long story which doesn't bear repeating.. (step daughter to me if that explains anything or not i feel she's taking anger about her dad and or brother going into navy out on me cause i've tried to change and be better person..)enjoying my alone time with hubby now with college and navy we're empty nesters..

Thank you, Lois:) I will pass the info onto my son.

@ rsv227 Devin's mom,

I just asked my son where he got his and he said it is in the same building that houses  DMV  and registrations

Comment by Joanie Tyler's Mom(133 Bees) on August 15, 2011 at 11:23am

Lois: I'm guessing he would go to the post office on base and they could direct him how to mail packages home.

 

Please keep Tyler in your prayers...he'll have 3 wisdom teeth cut out August 26th there in Guam...he said they weren't giving him any problems and you couldn't see them in his gum...I was truly wishing they would wait until deployment was over in the fall and do this in Gulfport...then he could take 1 week leave and be at home to recover...

Comment by rsv227-Devin's Mom on August 15, 2011 at 11:18am
I have a question also! My son was wondering where he would go to get a passport in Guam.  He never got one before he left & would like to get one in case he decides to travel while he's stationed there. Are there different passports for military members?Thanks for any info.
Comment by Lois in OK on August 15, 2011 at 10:34am

Good Morning Guam Moms,

Hope everyone is having a great day. I am wondering if anyone knows how my son would go about sending  Sausage and Pepper (not sure what kind) from Guam back to the states.  I have a friend that asked my son to mail them 2 items  from Guam  to them in New York. I don't know how he would package them to do so.

Thanks for any advise.

Lois
