Hello, I am new here. My husband is joining this unit, arrives (and deploys!) next week. He just grad from C school on Friday. I am soooo new to everything. He has only joined the navy in march so this will be his first duty station and first deployment. We are currently on the east coast. We have 3 small children and I am trying to learn more about the navy, about Cali, about deployment and about port H along w this unit. (tho we just heard it will decommission after this deployment??? Not really sure what that means? Will he than be stationed elsewhere? I am trying to decide if it make sense to move to Cali if he is just going to be gone and then reassigned--we are thinking it might be better to stay put until we know where he is going after this.) would someone please talk w me about all of this?---and put things in very easy to understand terms as I don't have the navy lingo down at all yet! Thanks

There is already a main Guam N4M group but you could do a 40 guam group? there is not a group started for Timor. there are only 25 of them. I just caught the end of the Wallet saga. I'm so glad it is working out. The time change is crazy! I really would take a phone call at any time but I cant go back to sleep after i talk at 2am. My brain gets going and it wont turn off. It's worth it though! Should we start a Timor group or will we be the only ones on it? might be silly or could be good if we need to discuss things that pertain just to our small group?

Anyone think we need to start a Timor group? I'm not on here often but thought it would narrow it down since there are so few of them. ot we can just chat on here. Hope everyone is doing good with our seabees overseas.

Ladies, can we be more careful about posting too much information online? It's making other members uncomfortable since our loved ones are part of nmcb 40 as well and you're putting everyone at risk. Thanks for your understanding.

The last I heard from my husband is they were in Alaska, and that was about 13 hours ago. Still waiting to hear from him.

Amen to that, Kayla and I are so very close. This is gonna cause me to go gray.
Then we find her cell is not "global" so she has to pay .69 every minute and .50 a text, .05 to receive. Not a good weekend. We will all get through this, it is just gonna be a few long months of complete suck. lol

My understanding is it does not.
My kiddo will join the 3 when they return. She said they will (the 40) all be in the Seabee Musium. Kind of neat.
Mine is off to Pendleton for the day, she has to get a release from Dental to leave. She said she is going no matter what.

Great, she most likely knows your son then.
It is so hard to be pulled in many directions. I thankfully have both parents and inlaws here in Ohio with us. However this does not change where i want to be, or where i would like for my kiddo to be... lol
