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."

Judy & Bri, Thank you both for the info, I do not have face book but I'll check into it...And yes Judy you are bad with the "ARE YOU STILL ALIVE" but I might just be bad with you. LOL..... That should knock his socks off. peuuw! rolf....... James is going to buy a phone card at the ships store so he can call us ( this was after I told him "Chris calls his mom!" so talking on here really does help. Thank goodness I talked him into putting his cell phone on military shutdown, this has a smell fee per month usually ($5-10). But now I will tell him of your experience and reinforce the fact HE mad a very good decision..... Also I was reading the Navy News and they posted theHoliday Mail Schedule . Needless to say I better get shopping (oh like that will be hard).LOL Oh, can you tell me of any good things to send in the "just because" packages. I know space is limited on ship and he is not real forthcoming about his needs/wants I get the "MOM! I'm okay." so any suggestions would be appreciated. Have a wonderful day.

Hi Judy, I am so glad your son will be home soon. Give him an extra BIG hug for all Navy Moms around the Country and World and when I see mine in April/May I will do the same. Right now I am just waiting for an answer to 4 e-mails i have sent over the last week. I wonder does any one know if they can IM (instant message)? if so that would be great!!!
Gota go to work,:-( Have a great day :-) Rehne'

Hi Everyone, My name is Rehne'(Renee) and my son James is currently on the USS Nitze(DDG94) also He too went to Rome while in port and had a wonderful time, all though I didn't get a phone call (the brat) but he was talking to my cousins in Milan. Unfortunately they could not come down this trip but maybe the next time they will meet. can not wait till April/May, I need a hug. 7 to 8 months is just too long but i will survive.
