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."

Luv2sing It is a sad situation when they steal from each other. Did he go and report it stolen? If he did and his Chief didn't do something about it then he needs to go above him. As far as the email, if they think that he is threating anyone they will loose their privileges. I know that don't sound fair to us but when youhave 5000 plus people on that ship that is how they do things. He has to let it go for now and just keep looking for his lap top. Tell him that he needs to keep thinks locked up at all time not matter what. I know it hard to understand but the theft does happen, he needs to just keep his eyes open and his mouth shut so he don't get in more troulbe.

The Family Readiness Group for the ship does a wall for the sailors. Puts it up once a month. cost $1. you can send as many as you want $1 each 5x5. Pics of family,pets, cars whatever or messages. Decorate them. They are up for a month so everyone can look at them and then given to the sailor. money goes for the halfway party. I think for the kids to know that Dads &Moms are half way home. Send and email to cvn77frg@cvn77frg.org and they send you updates of auctions and stuff they are doing.

Ok ladies, I am in the process of trying to get a picture of the T-shirts, but here is the scoop. The shirts all have the rendition of the USSBush on the shirts, they come in Grey and White, and they have Sweatshirts, all hooded that only come in Grey. They all have "Maiden Deployment" written on them.

Tshirts
Youth size   small, medium, large          $12.00 each
Adult        small, med., large, XL             $15.00 each
Adult          XXL and XXXL                        $17.00 each

Sweatshirts
Youth and Adults                                    $25.00 each
XXL and XXXL                                          $27.00 each

I checked and the flat rate small boxes are $5.20 the padded envelopes postage is $4.95 from what I see.

Email me at cbluiyz@gmail.com let me know what you want and what size and I'll make a list and get what we need. I sent a request back about the pin price so I'll have that soon for you.
