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."

My daughter has been on the Cable since December.  I have sent several packages when she was in Guam, but I wasn't sure if they would have room for much on the Emory.  I wonder is our kids know each other?  Probably so since they are both HTs.  She works in the Carpentry shop.  Has your son been able to call you since being on the Emory?  Her phones doesn't work outside of Guam :(  We have been emailing though so that is nice.  I can't imagine what it was like for Moms before facebook, email and snapchat!  We LOVE snapchat. Have you tried it?

countrymom, my son is a HT also and was transferred to the Emory a couple months ago, and he likes it too. He said all Frank Cable sailors have to do time on the Emory for a few months, then go back to the Cable. How long has your daughter been in the Navy/with the Cable? He has been with the Cable since October. My son says he doesn't need anything either, claims he can get what he needs there. But we ship stuff anyway. I know he's glad to open the boxes, he said it's like Christmas. We've sent him stuff like dvd's, his favorite candy, beef jerky, food bars, t-shirts, koozies and other small items with our state's team logo, notes from people to stick in the box, newspaper articles. They don't have a lot of room to store stuff. I'm glad someone finally wrote on here, thank you!

Hi, my daughter was just transferred from the Frank Cable to the Emory a few weeks ago.  She is a HT.  She loves the ship so far!  Have your loved ones been on the Emory long?  What are some things you ship them?  My daughter tells me she doesn't need anything but I want to send her something!
