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."

Couple things: The call from my son was so he could get the gfs names right for gift cards for everyone. Thoughtful.

They are now in Sasebo, Japan. Several of them went to Nagasaki to visit for a day. They were allowed to take pictures, but I will have to wait to see them. Seeing the world, well Japan.

Happy New Year!!!

Hey Texas moms: There is a picture of the Texas coming into the harbor in Japan.You should be able to find it on 7th fleet pictures,

Got that 3am call from my sailor. I was sound asleep and could not make a lot of sense, but it was great to hear his voice. Japan is half way around the world and it sounded like next door! They actually served a Christmas dinner: ham, mashed potatoes, yams, pie etc.

NavyAirForceMom, from what I understand, the subs ombudsman will let you know, anywhere from 2 weeks to 48 hours notice, depending on when she finds out & what she is allowed to say, as far as when to expect the sub back for home-coming. I 've resigned myself to be prepared for a last minute flight & preparations! Hopefully I'll get a little more notice then just 48 hours!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Nice to see you posted Dee!

Navy: Your OMB will keep you informed. You need to get in touch with her.

My sailor is once again in Japan. Pictures were posted from the 7th fleet on FB. They are moored next to the USS Texas!

How do we get estimated dates for homecoming? I'm looking to attend but unsure of the dates

Happy Thanksgiving to all. I am so glad that when I was in HI we had Thanksgiving dinner with my son. He is now deployed .

They are in port in Japan. They will have liberty, but alas I do not think they serve turkey or ham for Thanksgiving. I wonder if the boat does? I have a hard time with the time in Japan, as in 13 or is it 14 hours ahead of us, so when he got in touch with me he was a day ahead.

Back to fixing dinner!

The Bus: trans around the island. Ex: Cost from airport to Wikiki is $2.50. Must have correct change. I am sure they are online.

Comment by tysmom on November 16, 2015 at 11:16pm

Rental cars in the airport: Advantage, National, Hertz, Avis, Budget. Alamo has a shuttle right from the airport to the agency which is a short distance.

Comment by MyLAS (My Lips are SEALed) on November 13, 2015 at 3:12pm

If anyone is interested in helping me locate a car rental near the port, please message me.
