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."

Hi Mrs.Y I am spouse in Guam with my husband. If your sailor has friends which I am sure they do they will have plenty to do on Thanksgiving. The only way they will be alone is if they want to. Everyone here pulls together around the holidays. Between BBQs, going out, and family style dinners the only problem he should have is picking where he wants to go.

Had to fix some typos.
GTA 3000 min plan is 60 bucks a month plus if you have an iphone or smart phone it is an additional 30 bucks a month for that part. So your bill would be around 95 bucks after fees for one phone. We have 2 sets of phones the GTA smart phones which we use to call local and for internet and then we have a set of phones from ICONNECT that we use to call stateside. They are just your basic phones all you can do on them is call and text. It was actually a tiny bit cheaper to get the 2 sets of phones vs getting just one set. Our iconnect phones have unlimited calls to the US we pay 50 a month for those phones. Honestly, if he does not care about getting an awesome new phone I would go with Iconnect it is WAY cheaper and with similar or better service to our GTA phones.

Thank you Brenda he does have a computer with a webcam it was his high school graduation gift from his grandpa (who happens to run a computer business) but he hasn't used the webcam but I told him we are getting him set up on skype before he leaves he actually said yes yeah!!. Heat and humidity isn't new to him but it will be more intense then he is used to. I look forward to chatting with all you ladies throughout this phase in his life.
