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."

out to sea means away from home port.  currently in port means they are pulled into a port but not the home port. hope that helps. Unless he calls the only real way to reach him is through email.

The cable is out to sea but currently in port. They do have internet access. Have you tried emailing his ship email? Do you get emails from the ombudsman?
Comment by Lois in OK on July 24, 2011 at 6:06pm

Hi  Guam moms,

 

My son has been in Guam awhile now but I am curious do any of you have a sailor there attached to the USS Frank Cable?  I have been trying to get ahold of my son and he is not returning calls or messages on facebook. Do any of you know if maybe they are out at sea floating somewhere. He did mention about a month ago that he was going to be in Virginia and possibly leaving for Afghanastan does anyone know how I can find out.

Thank you all for any information,  Lois

Welcome, new moms! jmazzsmom- nothing to fear! it is wonderful here! beautiful, plenty to do. the only annoyances have to do with communication (internet, phone), and initial transportation til you are familiar with your options and settled. my husband goes to and from work on a scooter and i drive a guam bomb to my off base job.
