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 would post this in the Girlfriends, Fiancees, Wives group, they seem to be much more active. But from my experience it seems very likely they will fly your husband out to meet his ship. Once he gets in touch with them they will let him know, they will not wait until he gets to Mayport to tell him.

Hi! I have experience with this, my husband was in the exact same position a few years ago. There is a 99% chance that he will be flown out to the ship to finish out the deployment, so prepare for that scenario. This is what will happen: He will get a plane ticket. This plane ticket MIGHT (but not always, and I have no idea why there's a difference) take him to his new duty station, where he will stay in this special barracks for people on hold and he will be there for a few days. Then he will be flown out to the ship. That is what happened with my husband. Everyone else I know who left the same time as him never went to the duty station...they simply got plane tickets that took them immediately overseas to the ship. Either way, he'll end up flying overseas and make a few pit stops in a few countries before meeting up in an undisclosed area with someone who will deliver him to the ship. You can of course move whenever you like. Good luck!
*I should mention - his orders probably say nothing about this but they should be in contact soon to give him his ticket. We had a few weeks notice that this was happening and where he was going.
