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."

USS SAMUEL B. ROBERTS is an OLIVER HAZARD PERRY Class Frigate
SHIELD: The shield is divided into navy blue, red and yellow, suggesting the shoreline of Guadalcanal and the Marines who were trapped there in September 1942. The three stars allude to the Naval Forces who volunteered to rescue the hard-pressed Marines. The gold star represents Coxswain Samuel B. Roberts, Jr., who was mortally wounded during this mission when his boat drew enemy fire away from the other boats embarking the Marines. The three stars also represent the three ships named for Samuel B. Roberts, Jr.; the gold star denotes the current ship.
CREST: The lion, a symbol of courage, signifies Samuel B Roberts' Spirit. The lion's red claws and tongue symbolize Samuel B Roberts' ultimate sacrifice for his comrades ; the blue collar bearing a cross pattee convexed indicates that Samuel B Roberts' died in battle and was awarded the Navy Cross for his gallant actions. The lion is grasping in his paws a blue torch, suggesting the passing on of Naval history. The lightning bolts represent the armament of this ship, and indicate the quick-strike capabilities of the modern warship.
MOTTO: Admiral Copeland, then LCDR, Commanding Officer of DE 413, concluded his report of the Battle of Samar, with these words; "In the face of this knowledge, the men zealously manned their stations wherever they might be, and fought and worked with such calmness, courage, and efficiency that no higher honor could be conceived than to command such a group of men."

They are expected to pull in at 10am. And the weather prediction has gone from 65 to 68, Yippeee...LOL! I thank you all for your welcomes to the group, the Navy has most Def drained me these last 118 days!!! But it's almost over and in less than a year we will be retiring! I miss having my best friend around!!! :)

I just called the Ombudsman and still no word on what peer the boys will be pulling into! I do know that they are expected to be ON TIME! :) As for the gate, if your name is on the list, make sure you have picture ID and any rental/registration information in hand incase the guard asks. Its a very laid back Military base. As far as adding someone to the list, you can call the Ombudsman if you would like. Ginny (904)673-3424, not sure if she could help you get a name on the list or not. The boys are at a point in which they are switching their COMMS systems over and email might not be what we would like for it to be over the next day or two.

So two of the 7 of the group won't be able to attend the home coming? Or are there others that won't be there? You can take lots of picture's! Bring Picture ID with you. Have your name put on the list at the gate so you can get in. Bring a chair if you plan to come early. From the time you see the boat pulling into the harbor till the time they first step off will be about 30-45 minutes and if you have no plans to hang out you can leave when liberty is called. If you want to walk about the boat you can be there for a while. Put on some comphy shoes and enjoy yourself. I will get there within 10/15 minutes of pull in time because my nerves and waiting will just drive me insane! LOL!
