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."

Yes, a Kmart e-card is the way to go. I did that for my then fiance and it worked great because it was immediate.
Mona! That is wonderful!

And sometimes you can get lucky and Priority may get there in 5-7 days. But expect 2 weeks to be on the safe side! Priority is by air- beware- I had a clearly marked and paid for priority box end up on a ship and take two months! I had a receipt showing Priority and everything. It is the only box that arrived in bad shape too. I am surprised my shoes didn't fall through the gaping hole at the bottom!

@Carrol, he will receive an official email address, if he hasn't already, which he can use on the ship. There is a communication delay though.
David & Kathi- that is wonderful! I hope he enjoys Guam.

Becky- thank you for sharing those great pics!!!!
Carrol and Andrea(ATO), I hope your sons enjoys their time in Guam. If he gets a chance, tell him to stop by Fleet and Family Support to get on the next tour (I think it is every month) called Welcome Guam. I finally went on it and it was great. Really gave me a big appreciation for the chance to be here. And I found some places I was looking for!
Andrea(ATO)- his rate will change during his stay here, so his living situation may change too during that time. I encourage trying to live on base if possible. Rent and utilities are insane here and if you live with others there is no telling if they will break the lease on you.

I haven't gone to the Macy's. Everyone acts like it is awful and expensive, plus whatever we need is at the NEX so far...
