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 all - just checking in. We are heading to VA to visit our son in August! (He's out now and going to college.) I wish it could be a different time of the year but he's taking a summer class so there wasn't a lot of times to choose from.
Hope everyone is doing well <3

Devinsmom, I'm sorry to hear about your loss.
Hi everyone, it's Dorie, It seems like forever now since we went to Norfolk for the homecoming. That must mean time is flying by. I hope everyone is doing well. I do have constant contact with my daughter, which is a real blessing. I also have a son overseas presently and pray everyday he and his troop are safe as well as all our troops serving. I work at Lowe's and see Military come in all the time, I always tell them and anyone in uniform, Thank you for serving our country. Never be afraid to tell them. All I can say is 2018 will be a great year for me because if all goes as planned both of them will be State side and she will come home to California.
It's great to have support from all of you. Life is good!

Devinsmom, I am so very sorry to hear about your dad. I have no further suggestions - the Red Cross and the Ombudsman will hopefully get in touch with him ASAP. Hugs to you and your family.

I am so very sorry to read this @devinsmom. My father-in-law was dying while the ship was deployed. I messaged the Red Cross, emailed the ship, sent a message on the Facebook page and although it did take a few days, my son was able to call and speak to his grandfather in hospice room. I sincerely hope your son gets the message soon. Please take care of yourself. Prayers for you and your family.

Devinsmom, I'm so sorry for your loss. I've lost my dad and I understand just how tough that is. I have no experience with the Navy on this, but here are my thoughts. Does your son have an apartment? Do you know what shift he works? I imagine/hope they will tell him face-to-face when he reports to work and help him get bereavement leave arranged.

I need some help or advise. My dad passed away last night. I called the Red Cross to report it so they can tell my son. I still have not heard from my son. I can not sleep until I know he knows and I have been up for 24 hours now. Is there any easier way to let him know so that I can get him on his way home. I have called the Red Cross back and they say a message was sent to the ship last night.

Saw on the news where the Navy (USS John Paul Jones) had a successful test to intercept & destroy a missile with a missile! Wow!
In a different article, I saw where USS Truman is on schedule. The article said if they stay on track, sea trials could begin this summer.
