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."

You are not alone. We are all family and we are going to get from one moment to the next together. I take a lot of warm baths with bubbles. I recommend that as a helpful tool. They can just bill me for the water.
Hello! my son was on leave at his dads and just got back to base yesterday and will be reassigned to Another ship till he is reunited with his ship. My emotions are all over the place.
I am a mom of a Farragut sailor checking in. He was just assigned to this ship about a month or so ago. I wanted to say hello to the other parents of sailors and just let you know we are in it together. I will be checking in now on this blog and general discussion regularly. Right now I have anxiety watching the news so I am coping by focusing on an herb and rose garden. The anxiety is going well and so are the herbs and roses. :))
Hi my name is Melissa and my son is assigned to the Farragut. Would really love to get in contact with other moms of sailors on this ship.
last deployment was June 2012 lasting until April 2013
Possibility that our son will join the Farragut; will someone please tell me when that ship was last deployed? _______ How long was the deployment_________
Locations the ship visited? ________ Thanks.
