Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind.  In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships."  OPSEC is everyone's responsibility. 

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."

Hi amyj96-my son is also in Japan. He is on the USS Mustin. It was so hard to say good bye again and I could not go to the airport to see him off as it was the first day of school for my students. It was probably better that way-I was a mess. I am happy to say I am doing better now. He bought an iphone at the NEX and is able to text me often during his off time. I do not know how mothers did it years ago without this technology! He is going to get a laptop when he comes into port again so we can skype. It will be good to hear his voice and see his face! We will be here for eachother!!

Hey everyone...i've not been on the site since PIR in august.  My son left yesterday for Japan.  He will be on the USS Germantown.  I've been sick all day :(  I did get a message from him that he had made it safely and had all his bags.  I see a lot of others have sons/daughters going to Japan.  It seems like June 13th all over again but this time a one year wait on seeing him :(

My sailor will get into our airport soon tonight! He'll be here around a week before heading to Sasebo, Japan. It may be a year before he can come home for another visit.

Thanks everyone! Gonna miss my boy but I'm very excited for him in this journey! And I'll be one of those hugely emotional moms when he comes home. LOL.

I seemed to have jumped from one emotional roller coaster to another.  From Boot Camp to wedding planning....when will all of this fun stop?  :-)
