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."

Thank you Jen. @ccNavyMom...I sent an email to the ombudsman requesting authorization at the email address you noted below. Have you had a response yet? I have a question about filing year end tax forms. do they send the W2 to the home address?

You're great. I will keep you posted as well. February is getting close and we're starting to have those sad feelings. I thnk he is too. He now has a Navy girlfriend who is going to Japan. Wonder how that will go. Anyway, I'll post tomorrow. thanks again. Cathy

Thank you. We'll see him this weekend so I have to press that issue. We did get the power of attorney notorized on Monday, so that's done. I understand they can purchase phone cards on the ship since their cells won't work. Have you been in touch with the Ombudsman on the Comstock?

ccNavyMom: Has your son given you the mailing address of the USS Comstock? My grandson seems to be anoyed when I quiz him for things. Guess we'll have to get it before they deploy if he wants to get packages. I did order the boxes when he was in A school. Delivered right to your door. How did your son manage over the Christmas Holiday? We had him here for Chirstmas but he had to work the New Years weekend. Hope all is well.

This is so cool. It is great to see that the Postal Service recognizes that packages are important to our overseas military!

Merry Christmas to all of you

Thinking of all of you and your families during this Holiday time.

Yes I have told her that! She will do fine! She had the same problem when in high school because she has always got on better the males and not the females and she has a lot of friends and she dealt with it but after joining the Navy all those same girls wanted to be her friend lol
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL!
I HOPE YOU ALL GET TO SEE YOUR SAILORS OVER THE HOLIDAYS!
AND IF YOU DONT THEN KNOW THAT THAY ARE SAFE WHEREVER THEY
ARE AND THINKING OF YOU!

Same here. He's glad to be back but so tired and working this weekend. We're hoping he'll be coming home for Christmas. It's so rainy and stormy here in California. I'm happy your sailors are well. There's peace in your heart when they are ok.

Well she is at home well gonna get ready to go xmas shopping and does not have to go back until sunday. Oh the places that they are going on next deploy have changed but she will get to hang out with her aunt who lives in ! dont think I should say. But they were told ( and its not top secret or anything) that this thing with Korea if anything happens they will deploy first and would be immediate so am watching news and hoping that nothing will happen!! I think she is freaking out about it a little! Oh and some of the girls on board are being real nasty to her because she still has not officially started her job yet ! why i dont know but her friends on board (and her sponsor) said dont worry about it they gotta pick on someone cos they are bored! She is not too worried!
