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."

LORIW-How exciting for you both, three years is a long time, I can relate. Our son has been there a little over 2 years now and we haven't been able to make it yet, too many family obligations at home with elderly parents. Enjoy & have fun with all the plans they've made for you!
Dawn1517- Your son will love Hawaii he's going to have a fantastic time adventuring on the island! Check back and let us know how's he doing :-D

My son arrived in Hawaii last Monday and has been just waiting with nothing to do and no one to really venture off with. He is feeling pretty sad at the moment. Hoping that changes once things go back to "normal" tomorrow.

Hi all...new to this group but my son has been in Hawaii for a year, attached to a fast attack. Since he got there, he met a girl, got his Dolphins, got engaged and hasn't yet been on an underway. Planning a life in Hawaii, for at least the next few years. A far distance from his entire family back in Ohio and PA!
