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."

Mikesmom...You never know they may know each other. I haven't gotten the form letter or a phone call ad of today. The closer it gets to Christmas it gets harder. I just want to hear his voice and know that he is ok. Hopefully I will hear something soon!!!

Hi t4inparker,
My daughter graduated then and went to a school there for OS. She graduated a school yesterday. She was suppose to come home for a visit in a week but they haven't received their orders because the system is down. I hope your son is doing well. It's nice to meet you.

So very excited for my sailor. He's on USS Nimitz, and their deployment was extended to assist with operations in the Red Sea. Nimitz pulled into Naples Italy for some well deserved Liberty! He'll be home soon, we hope and pray, but so awesome that he's seeing the world on one deployment. Fair winds and following seas Nimitz.....til you come home, always in my prayers.

AveryMom, drum it into your son's head . . . if he hears about a Tiger Cruise, you want in!! He'll have to find a female sponsor for you, not sure how big a ship he's on and how many females there are there (and willing to take on the responsibilities of sponsorship). Good Luck!!
