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 know it is hard but take a deep breath. It can take almost 24 hours to get to Diego Garcia.
Have you visited here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diego_Garcia
and

My husband was stationed in Diego Garcia for a year almost 20 years ago. Communication has only gotten better. There is much for him to do. Check out the links and take a deep breath.

I was on DG myself quite a while ago. Communications have improved greatly, especially since they now have internet access. Not sure if they have it in their rooms or not.
The time difference is 12 hours ahead of us (I'm in Mountain TZ, adjust for where you are).
It is not just one flight, it is several. Takes a day to get there, he must check in, and get some rest. Might be a couple days before you hear from him.

Hello folks,
Please be very careful about posting sensitive information.
Do not forget the importance of OPSEC when posting on this site. Sharing specific dates regarding ship movements can jeopardize the safety of our Sailors. Please review our Community Guidelines: http://navyformoms.com/forum/topics/navy-for-moms-n4m-community
Thanks!

Hi Jennie C,
Just found out that my sailor will be stationed at Diego Garcia. I've never heard of this place before yesterday. Has your sailor settled in?
