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."

USS Abraham Lincoln's Coming back to Everett Sailor on Leave!
My sailor informed me on when the ship hits Everett. His leave has been approved, however; its on the same day he comes to visite me. He is such a dare devil and I know he wants to come visite me really bad but, my word, did I not know in a million years he would book a flight to see me the same day he hit Everett. Is that possible? Have anyone of your family members come back and left the same day to visite you guys or doing it now? I trust him on his actions, but I just need some clarity from you guys! Thanks in advance!!!!

Awww Im so happy someone else is doing the same. Because I was so afraid he may miss it or I don't know. So have you guys booked your flight already? "He's my significant other" : )

My husband and I are going on the tiger cruise with our daughter. Her leave starts the day we get into Everett and she insisted that I book our flight home for late that evening. I said but your dad and I want to see Everett and Seattle and her response was "Mom, I only have a to be back in Everett but such and such a date and I don't want to spend it in Everett. I want to be able to go home and spend it my family and friends." So I did as she wished and booked a flight for late that evening that doesn't get us back home til the next morning. But it's what she wanted.

Awww how sweet! So, you guys are going on an over night flight? I think he is as well. The phone lines are down right now so all we are doing is emailing each other back and forth right now. Thanks for the "extra" info.

I don't know about the homesick part but he does misses his lady. : ) His family and I are hundreds of miles apart.

Yes we're flying out the day after arrival. I booked flights when he told me that he'd be on leave when they arrived. He wants to spend as much time at home with family and friends. Hope all works out for you and your sailor.
