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."

Woot woot! That is awesome! I know you must be THRILLED! My FI just told me that over the holidays he has 10 days "off" and we will probably both go stir crazy being apart. Normally, being off is nice. Oh well.

my fiance give me an easy way to remember the time difference. whatever the time is - flip it! then add 3 hrs (EST). so if it is 1pm here, it is 1am+3hrs (4am) there. that really helped me!

Happy Thanks Giving to you all as well. I hope each of your sailors on Guam got to enjoy a good meal and good laughter. Mine had his a day earlier (the cook was going to have to work on Thanks Giving) and really enjoyed himself.

Hi Tahl1! Take a look a the discussion forum above about Mailing Stuff to Guam. If you use a Priority box with the post office you can ship all you can pack in it for a flat rate under $11. Also you can ship larger boxes via Parcel Post up to 20X20X20/ up to about 54lbs (its is actually any shape up to 108" girth which explained on USPS.com). Also, anything you ship greater than 16oz requires a customs form. When a merchant wouldn't ship direct to my fiance's FPO box, I signed up with APObox.com, which gives you your own address you can put in the shipping info box on your order, when APObox.com gets it they immediately ship it out. I recently had good luck with that.
USPS offers a military shipping kit too. Call 1-800-610-8734, press 1 and ask for "military pack".

Hi Teresa! My DF loves it there. It took a while to get used to the heat. His living quarters are nice. And there is a cafe called "Single Sailors" where he can go to connect to the internet, and enjoy media and games until he gets settled with his own computer or laptop if he will have one. DF bought a bike when he first got there to get around to the store and work. Sometimes fellow sailors would even give him a ride. And he recently bought a used car there. When we marry he will have to extend for a year and he says "why wouldn't we? I LOVE it here!" I only hope I love it as much! :)

That is great Becky! I hope he will be able to contact you often!

If he works on a ship, his address should be his ship name. For Ex:
(NAME)
USS (Ship Name)
(Dept.if applicable)
FPO, AP ZIP CODE

Wow, Tina, your nephew is amazing! Still hoping for speedy recovery! If my DF hears from him I will sure let you know and when he is able to commute over to the hospital I will let you know that too. Stay strong.

Becky, so sorry to hear about your mom. I think telling your son depends very much on his make up and his relationship with her. He may use this as fuel to do his best or he may be distracted. You could also wait until you have more definitive results. I am praying for the best possible news.

I am really sorry to hear that Tina. My DF got there recently so he doesn't have a vehicle to get around yet. But he likes to help whenever he can. He is sleeping right now, but I give him a wake up call in a few hours so I will definitely tell him. Hope your nephew is better soon. I will PM you too.
