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."

Oh Pat that was a great idea, but they should start contacting someone right away, being towed can be costy
-
-
I agree with Melia ...and I would contact then right away,
-
-
Towed from off base..or on base?
-
-
Well I hope you all have a great trip....
-

Ok I'm lost so Melia will you email me also .my son has talked about something like your post I'll have to check with him about the way they come in ....it can't be the same way.i have pics from one time when my son came in.. somewhere I'll have to dig around on the computers and see if i can find them
and as far as the post go the only warning messages that I got, is when I posted a paypal link for our knit for the navy group.....and I understand them wanting me to remove it. but never for anything else. but I don't' talk about anything that is not public
Melia I appreciate all the research you do for us between school and life you have saved me so much time ..........huggs to you
-
-
ok Melia .I was wondering if you know of any dance (ballroom) classes ...on the island...that let you go when you can?
-

Kel says that a lot of people feel that way .....I don't think he'll be moving off. I'm not a shopper...............but I love the beach and hope to spend the week with him on the water, his friend has a boat and we want to dive and snorkel, so that will eat up a week easy. and I was thinking about seeing other island, he told me that I could put a car on a ferry and go see other stuff. I don't like rushing either.........I could spend a day (or many) people watching ......must be why I'm in to sociology................lol
by the time I'm healed up it might be next summer, maybe we can all meet up
Our weather is going to be spring now so it should be much better for you ....and there is so much to do up there you should never be bored.....
-
-
Amen to that ...........that is why I said in the future who knows it might be in a year........
I only want to know when they are back and safe.........

I was going to go out for a week this summer ...but after listening to all of you .....and then I was thinking that since my son and roommate are on the same sub and will go out on westpac sometime in the future I told my son that I think I will go out there about a month before they come back in and get everything turned back on for them and then hang out for the rest of the time and when he gets back in I'll spend a week with him and he won't have to worry about running around the island with me and we can just spend the week diving and he has a couple of cars so family can come and go as the please to visit....(this is one time I'm glad I'm single).you guys make me think I'm going to need a month
