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."

I haven't been on here in a while, but my son just made it out to Hawaii finally. He finished school in San Diego and arrived in Hawaii on the 4th of July. He is doing well and enjoying it so far... I hope everyone is doing well! Welcome Proud Navy Dad - where is your son right now? Donna, I am actually not on FB so this is all I have for now. Hoping to get a Hawaii trip planned for next summer! Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Hi! Can you send me info on the FB page? I accidentally deleted the email.

Hi Donna, thank you! I am not sure of all the details, he just told me he would be at Pearl Harbor and on the USS Hopper. He will be a GM. What questions should I ask him? I want to understand as much as I can about what he is doing... He is very happy about going to Hawaii and that is what matters! He is definitely done with the crazy winter in GL and so ready to be out of there. I am already trying to figure out a way to get myself to Hawaii also so let me know if you get any good info about a trip out there! :)

I just found out that my son will be stationed in Hawaii. He is currently in GL for A-school and will go to San Diego for 4 months for more school before he gets to Hawaii. I have mixed feelings about it all and I'm sure you never get used to all of it! Just not sure what to expect now and hoping to find some support here!

Are there public Pearl Harbor ceremonies today in HI?

Hi! I talked to my son from the ship yesterday by phone. He said their supply ship had been hit by lightning & had to return to port. This will delay their mail & packages. I'm sure this is not going over well; but hopefully it won't be too much of a delay for the holidays. Thought you all would want to know. Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
