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."

I don't recall but I thought he had mentioned there was at least four females on board. Not sure but there are at least a few and he just called me over an hour ago and I forgot to ask him about it.

Karen, when you get a chance, would you ask your son if there are any females on his ship?

Hi Melissa,
My son is on board the USS Rodney M. Davis, a Frigate.

Nice so not all frigates are male enlisted only ~~ Good to know !
The only 2 I know of personally are all male enlisted.

My son just left this week for bc, We live in Seattle.

Milissa I dont think Frigates have enlisted females :( Kinda sucks for the moms and sisters of frigate sailors.
I wonder if they travel in a battle/strike group if another ship in that group can sponsor a frigate Mom/Sister ?
Certainly wouldn't be the same as being with your sailor !

Karen, if you do a search (upper right hand corner) the names will come up. One mom took a ton of pictures and I think they are still posted on here somewhere.
What ship was your son on when you were told no accomodations for females? Had your son lined up a female sponsor for you?
