Hey everyone- my daughter left for boot camp October 2nd. I missed a call from her last Friday telling me that her graduation is December 13th. I feel like the worst mom in the world for missing her call. Really didn’t expect her to call so soon but…Continue

Oleander: Does the Ombudsman give you the info on Facebook? That makes me really nervous. Hopefully it's a call..? I really feel that Facebook is not OPSEC friendly.
JayDee that's hilarious!! Yes, Molly would probably forget the code. We will practice. They always had a code growing up for "I need to get out of this situation" whether others were drinking or they wanted to come home. This is a little like that.
Molly's Mom, if your daughter is anything like mine you'll need to practice it. Mine forgot! Thiswas important because I was meeting the ship for a Tiger Cruise and had to book my flight. Thank goodness I got an official email from her ship because she was off a day. We also have nicknames for several Navy bases.
No No JayDee! I just didn't want to miss anything!! Molly isn't on a ship yet, but I now will be ready with a code word!! Thank you!
Molly's Mom yes. Maybe I misread but I thought yiu were also wanting to know how ti find out when a ship was coming in. Rather than wait on the FRG your sailor can carefully tip you in code. Just set it up early If I misunderstood, I apologize .
JayDee....wait wait wait...what am I getting a code for?? What day her ship will arrive??
Molly's Mom, before your sailor leaves make up a secret code so she can tell you. Such as your anniversary. Foe example if your anniversary is July 4 she can say "minus one, plus 10" which would be June 14.
SailorsLImom, she was probably saying "family readiness group". Unfortunately the only way to join those generally, is your sailor sending an email to the FRG asking them to add you. Are you part of the ships FB page? Maybe another mom will help you. Those dates are secret and early release or social media discussion can cause the return to be delayed and a possible punishment for whomever leaks it, and their sailor. What ship is she on? One of us here may be able to help.
SailorsLIMom great question!! I'm nowhere near that point, but I can't wait to hear the answer!
