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."

K... hang on ladies...was just skyping with my sailor and they are having another major earthquake now and he says they are fine. Don't know much else... communication dropped. prayers are needed all around.

I skyped my sailor's house and he was asleep but his buddies said they were fine. They felt it but no big deal for their house. They are waiting to hear what to do next.

I think Caleb forgets about the time change or he just knows that I won't care if it is him calling me at that time. I wish he would pick a better time but I think he has too many other more important things to remember! You are right I will take whatever he gives me! Naw, he wasn't surprized about me knowing about the TSO thing.... I think Jon may have told him you all would be telling me or he asked Jon to tell me... something like that. He acts like it was no big thing.... He just never seems to get too nervous over anything. I was so glad to know and I didn't tell anyone because I didn't want to take that away from him and he doesn't seem to think it is a big deal. Maybe that is just a front for me... I don't get it!!! My son the mystery!! How is Jon doing? He is so fun to see in pictures, he looks like he really enjoys whatever he is doing.

I just got an email from my son, letting me know he's an aviation avionics technician "AT" on the H-60. They have two types oh
helos. The Hotel- for combat search and rescue, search and rescue, medical
evacuation, and other missions. And the Foxtrot- same as hotel except it is
fitted with a sonar suit an acoustic sensor station and a tactical sensor
station for tracking and attacking submarines. His rate as an AT & he works on
all the communication, navigation, and mission equipment. There's other stuff
that all maintainers in general do as well. But that is the basics of his job.
