OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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."

Comment by SaratogaMom on May 8, 2021 at 8:29pm: My son recently arrived in San Diego. He's on the Abraham Lincoln. Any other AL moms?

Comment by Phoenixmom on April 15, 2021 at 11:27am: Hi Ladies, My Son has been stationed on Coronado Island for the Last 3 yrs. and He Loves it! The Barracks look like apts. 4 guys to a apt. kitchen living room washer/dryer in each really nice. He is On the Theodore right now but they will be moving Ports soon real soon! ShellyH when my Son left A school in GL he was flown as well to the Carrier as they were on deployment at the time. He said it was pretty scary for the first time but they get the hang of it after. if you ladies have any questions please feel free to ask.

Comment by coley423 on April 15, 2021 at 10:31am: Shellyh-I can't post the return date b/c of OPSEC. I sent you a friend request!

Comment by shellyh on April 15, 2021 at 7:11am: coley423 - He is being flown to the ship today..he is so excited. Do you know how long they will be gone? He is an AD. He has been in San Diego since March 2019 (his first duty station) and he loves it. I was there last week visiting and I loved it. He is so ready to start working...he was tied to the Bonhomme Richard which was in dry dock when he reported and then the ship caught fire and he and many sailors have been in limbo since July. Hopefully he will like his new home...

Comment by coley423 on April 14, 2021 at 1:11pm: Shellyh-I just now am seeing your post! That's awesome! What is his rate? Mine is an OS. So far he loves it. Every time he Face Times me the skies are so beautiful! I went 5 years ago and loved it. I told him I'm moving out there lol. He said no...

Comment by shellyh on April 1, 2021 at 11:17am: Good morning coley423,

My son is also reporting to the Essex on April 15. They are currently out to sea for training. I am in San Diego as I type visiting my son. I live in Florida, if you get a chance come back to San Diego it is beautiful!

Maybe we can get this group back to communicating!

Comment by coley423 on April 1, 2021 at 7:43am: Good morning!

Kristel2400-looks like this is not really an active group. My son just reported to the Essex on Tuesday. I'm in VA so I don't know anything about San Diego-I visited there 4 years ago but not very long!

Comment by Kristel2400 on March 28, 2021 at 8:33pm: Hey all! Is anyone active in this group? My son is currently deployed on the USS RUSSELL & would love to keep in touch with another with their child on the same ship. It seems there’s really no way of knowing where they are or when they’ll be back. Thankfully Ive seen 2 stories in the news with their location but that’s it. Anyway - please reach out if you’re out there :)

Comment by mk959801 on June 12, 2020 at 7:03am: Good Morning! My son will be headed to SD next week and mentioned that he has to quarantine for 14 days after he arrives. Does anyone have a Sailor who recently went through this? Can you please share any insight?

Is there separate quarters for this? What do they do while in quarantine? How do they get meals? Can they go outside for running, working out, etc?

Thanks, and have a nice weekend!
