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."

Good morning everyone! I haven't been on in a while. Eleven days until my daughter's wedding!! It's not looking like my sailor will be home for the wedding. Really bummed, but I know he's doing his job. I guess I'll just draw a stick figure with a dixie cup on the picture! lol Have a great day everyone!!

Linda,
It doesn't seem to matter if your son has been there six days or almost a year....I keep hearing different things also! LOL You need to be very careful about passing info on here. Your son will get full details soon and he should be able to share that with you.

Have you heard anything about the underway or deployment that you can private message to me? My son just arrived on the ship 6 days ago and is hearing all sorts of different things!

Our son was home for four days at Christmas. We're hoping and praying he can make his sister's wedding Feb 3, even if it's just a couple of days. If it's meant to be, God will make a way.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

@ Linda,
Cryptologic Technician - Technical (CTT), It's more mental than physical. He really likes physical jobs, so he's kinda bored and gets antsy. He's been known to do pullups from the exposed overhead pipes and squats in the corner of the room.
