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."

B'sNukeMom, I just heard back from the FB page admin and she said that she had just approved 2 nuke moms on the site today, so if you try to log in now, you should be able to get in. Let me know if you can't.

Boy I want to take my car in where you go. I never paid that little for an oil change even when I did it myself in college. My car costs about $85. so I bet that is correct.

Yasminie5 my son is MM and just got housing in PPV so he is on the ship only during duty. I will put in a friend request for you. You can PM me any info you are comfortable with to let my son know how to find your sailor. I just won't be able to respond. Sometimes I really want to throw this ipad across the room!

That last comment "my son also had work done there" was Marcy. I have no experience with them myself

This is an excerpt from a post Marcy made back last fall. It was in answer to someone asking where to get brakes done. Original post was from even earlier, so hope the info is still accurate.
Accurate-Tune Plus 757-226-8863, JT is the gentleman to talk to. My son had several things done there and I talked to him personally. They also have great reviews and we were referred to them. http://accuratetuneplus.com/
My son also had work done by JT at Accurate-Tune. I would recommend them also.

Hi forever proud mom of Bataan sailor. My guy is CS and just arrived on Saturday. I believe he's on the ship for now. And will then move to barge living. It would be great for them to meet up if possible.

HuffyMom sounds like a rip off. I saved a conversation about this very subject. I'll dig it up and repost. and tell him to let his command know where it was. The Navy can put businesses on a list of places to avoid. I don't know if the list is mandatory or just recommended.
