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."

If you can get the flight number you should be able to get his arrival date from that or you can just call the airline and let them know he is leaving Japan on this date at 2:30 pm and they should be able to let you know when his flight will get in. Will the Fitz be back in port by then?

Hi! I just got back from a visit to Japan and got to watch the Fitz pull in. It is by far the cleanest ship there - great job to all the painters on the ship! Everyone on board was so welcoming, nice and glad to receive hugs from home. They are a great bunch and I was so sad to leave. I just wanted to share my experience and send the love back to you.
