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."

Dear moms and wives, I created this group so we could all stay current on events and get questions answered as we needed them. My daughter has decided to get out of the Navy. I want you and others to be able to continue using each other and this group as a tool. Thanks for everything! Tracy

Comment by mikes mom on September 4, 2011 at 1:38pm: Regarding packages its the same for my son 2 to 4 weeks : )

Comment by missinghimtillimkissinhim on September 4, 2011 at 10:36am: Good Morning ladies, My husband will very soon be joining the Uss Mesa Verde crew, We are transferring from the Uss Harry S Truman. I'm hoping to meet some ladies with spouses on the ship as I am completely in the dark about the ship,deployment time line as well as everything else that goes along with a deployment on the Mesa Verde.

Comment by sheri on September 2, 2011 at 11:06am: Hi Jason - I've had packages get to my daughter anywhere from 2-4 weeks. I hope this helps!

Comment by Jaime1019 on September 2, 2011 at 7:41am: I have had packages get to my husband in a little less than two weeks and I have also had a one or two take over a month... I am currently waiting for one to get to him that I mailed about three weeks ago.

Comment by LindaB on August 30, 2011 at 8:34pm: The picture I just posted is a view of the Mesa Verde at the Italian Naval Base in Taranto. You could see it from the waterfront in the city. It was the talk of the town!

Comment by Jaime1019 on August 29, 2011 at 10:35am: Linda, so glad you got to visit your son! I went and visited my husband when they were in Greece, it was amazing! We had a great time. We both needed the vacation and it was wonderful to be able to see him especially since this deployment is so long. I agree 100% with you, if any of you are able to go overseas to see your loved one you should definatly do it, it is totally worth it!

Comment by LindaB on August 29, 2011 at 10:27am: Hi folks,
I got back from Europe Friday night. We visited our son while the Mesa Verde was in port. He was able to take leave. It was great to see him, and we enjoyed sightseeing with him. We could see the ship from the waterfront in the city where the naval base is. We met our son at the main gate. I guess it's OK to say where now that the port call is over, but I'm a little hesitant. He said that the sailors are always very busy. He looked tired and was glad of an opportunity to catch up on some sleep. If you get an opportunity to visit sometime when the ship is in port, I urge you to take advantage of it. I think it meant a lot to him, and it certainly did to us.
