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 heard from my son today and he said to keep checking the FRG for updates.

I should really post something on here more often. I cruise past, but don't see activity so I move on, but this deployment has been pretty rough. I saw my sailor twice in the pictures, which is unusual because she doesn't have a glam job the Navy prefers to post, more on the mundane side, but it would be nice if they knew how much the pictures mean to us back home. I was glad to see her in the sun and fresh air that she doesn't get enough of, communication is very limited, I got an astronomical phone bill for a couple minutes of the enjoying sound of her voice, so I really do view her phone biting the dust as somthing of a blessing ;-p the countdown is on, I am making plans to be there, cant wait!

This is my sailor's 4th deployment and I'm am getting anxious for this one to be over. I scanned each photo that was posted and not even a glimpse of him. He avoids the camera at all costs ;) Always has. On his last ship they caught him a few times because they figured out what he was doing. Made me smile.
Hope everyone is well. Spring has finally arrived in Northern Wisconsin. I'm glad of that.

Good morning, ladies! The Oscar Austin Facebook page posted 192 pics today! My son wasn't in a single one of them, but wanted to let you know so you could check them for a glimpse of your sailors. Have a great weekend!

Hi jesmom6 yes it is quiet. I just found this group a week ago. We're getting close to the end of this thing. This is my sons first deployment. I think he's ready for it to be over. I'm sure they all are. You have a great day.
