OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
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."

As one of the Moms out of the loop, I have really enjoyed all of your chatter. My son thought I would not be able to get the time off for the Tiger cruise so it was not an option. I am so jealous of you who will be going to meet the ship, but very happy for you all. Be safe and if you figure out who my son is, give him a huge hug for me. (That should horrify him enough to not forget his mom for the next Tiger cruise :)

Delta...for the first change we had to make, they wanted to charge us $499.00 to change the date on 1 ticket with us flying out of Atlanta, BUT if we wanted to go to Nashville and make a stop in Atlanta, they could do it for $142.00. The stupid thing about this is if we go to Nashville first and get on the plane in Atlanta it's the exact flight they wanted to charge $499.00 for, why not let us go to Atlanta and charge $142.00....we were on the phone with them for hour and half.

What airline?

Stupid flipping airlines!

We are coming from Georgia and it's amazing the airlines are being so difficult. We even purchased the insurance just in case; now to find out just because the ship has changed routes is NOT a covered reason on the insurance...UGG!!! We did however find out late last night they HAVE made it to port. The Tiger cruse to our understanding is still up in the air and they are not sure how long they are going to be at this port....

You are lucky you are already there...good job!
They are back at previous port.....yea! Hopefully can move forward within next day or so...fingers crossed!

We are already here. Since we are full time travelers (You could say we have traveled all over the US just to get here-lol) we don't have to worry about jobs or anything to get back to but we also do not want to get stuck here by a winter storm.
I have a thought. I know we can't share where they are at any time but we all know where they are going back to, what their next port after that is and then the final port, yes? So as you know anything could we let everyone know without using the names of the ports? Like I know that yesterday they had not reached their prior port yet. Would this work?
We are staying in the Good Sam RV park in Everett.

Yep...I'm driving from phx...24 hour drive so I'm also including an extra day:). Sure hoping no snow since I don't know how to drive in it!
Safe travels...soon we will see our sailors:)!

Good morning
Yes...you are correct about most airlines not helping out...shame on them.
At least they are in safe waters...and in port I believe; )!
Now to figure out driving up to homeport in case tc is canceled which I'm thinking it will be.
I'm ready...almost ...to get on the road;)! Then I will feel proactive. ..lol!
