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."

Welcome aboard ItsMeCyndi! What is your Sailor's rate? My Sailor is an OS2. They are just back from their 2nd deployment. I'm in cold, cold, cold and snowy Michigan. Where are you? I'd sure love to be in sunny SD right now!

Thank you for the information, MaggieH, I had no idea about the photographers loss. I'll be praying for him and his famiy.
I saw the Tiger Cruise pics! They were great! I am looking forward to everyone posting pics to the Stockdale FB page for us to see.
I'm SO happy my son is finally back on USA soil...so relieved that our sailors are HOME.

The amazing photographer from the Stockdale had an unfortunate death in his family...be patient...He got off the ship and hopped on a plane to go home
My husband took some from the pier...I was on board
The Homeward Bound Pennant was flying and looked amazing. Unfortunately - the media leaned towards the Lawrence's homecoming due to the death of the 2 pilots

hi all, this page has been very quiet lately. Is everyone on the Tiger Cruise? Does anyone know when they are supposed to be home? My son joined up with the ship after he finished A school about a month ago. It was too late for me to sign up for the Tiger Cruise and I am unable to go meet the ship. It is a long way from Nebraska to San Diego so I have been going crazy looking on FB to see pictures of their arrival. Does anyone have any news. Navy mom going crazy here lol. I know it has been a very long journey for everyone else here.
