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."

I haven't been on this site in so long that I have forgotten how to invite one to Friend. Looking to connect with jami88; I saw a post about the decommissioning of the Robert G Bradley. I you are that person, I'd like for you to make a contact with me by requesting Friend status or on this discussion site. I have a son on the RGB. It appears that you may have a sailor on there as well. Thanks

Up above it says the latest activity on this group was yesterday, but when I look at the comment trail, the last comment was March 27, 2012. Is this group active?

Ladies, I started a group for all Frigate Moms last week. Perhaps if we include moms of all frigates there will be a lot more activity and opportunities for sharing and support. Please check it out and if you know anyone who has son/daughter on frigate please direct them to that group as well. Thanks.

Robin (Ali's Mom) I sent friend request. When it clears I will send you a private message. Please go to a new group I started a day or so ago - Frigate Moms. I think collectively we can get more conversation going with moms of several frigates. Hope to connect with yout tomorrow. Rest well.

Janet, looks like no postings on here in quite some time. Today I started a new group for moms of any/all frigates. Perhaps that way we can get some activity going. Look for Frigate Moms group on this site.

Hi Janet, our son will be joining this group sometime near the end of April. How long has your grandson been aboard. What is his rate? Jon will finish IT A-School on April 6. We are very proud of him, he has remained first in his class all the way through and at this time still maintains a 98 pt.overall average. We are working through acceptance of this assignment as the instructors really pumped him up for positions at Andrews AFB or another place in VA. The the next day when assignments came down the class was told that the day class took most of the desired positions before the night class had a shot at it. We are in Atlanta so there are some good things about it: he will be close enough to visit some and deployments 6 mos. vs. 1 yr. unless things turn uglier in the mideast. His dad and I are retired so we have some freedom to travel without interrupting work schedules. We are planning to go to Pensacola for grad and to say goodbye to several sailor friends whom we've know since GL training.We were hoping his best friend would be assigned same but instead will be located at the fartherest opposite base in US, Everitt, WA. LOL. Wondering when your grandson joined this ship and was he on the last deployment at sea? From what I have been able to view, seems like they returned to Mayport in Oct. 2011?? Do you have any idea when they are planning to deploy again. We are trying to plan a wedding in our family and really hoped her brother would be in Mayport at that time. Hope to hear from you. Perhaps we need to start a site "Frigate Moms" since there are 55 frigates and maybe we could get some action going. I know there is already a site for Destroyer Moms. (That sounds kind of destructive doesn't it! LOL.)
