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 got some pics from my son today of some of the crew celebrity Navy's birthday on the ship. Maybe they do have some fun on board? It seems like they work or stand watch most of the time.....

How long is the time when the Wasp is out to sea. Is it weeks, months or longer each time it is out to sea or does it vary?

My son just found out today that he will be assigned to the Wasp. He finishes A-school in Pensacola on Dec. 14th and we are hoping he gets to come home for the holidays before he goes to Norfolk. He is AS. This is all new to us, so I'm looking forward to hearing from the others in this group that have been in the Wasp group for a while.

Karolyn I live and Texas and will not be able to be there when they come home. I have not even been able to see the Wasp yet? It would be so cool to see the wasp pull in. Please enjoy and make them all welcome. I so wish I could be there.

Hi everyone! My son Jeff has been on the Wasp now 3 1/2 years. He is an MM3 and works in one of the engine rooms. He got to come home in July but will not be home again till 1--10. He works alot, it sounds like too me. I am very proud of him and cannot wait till 2-2012 when he should be getting out. Hope all is well with you all. Debbie
