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."

Comment by Tere on January 4, 2017 at 1:28pm: Hello everyone. My son just reported to CW and i wanted to know the correct FPO address for care packages. I seem to be confused on this. I am getting conflicting info. Please send me a private message or email if you would be so kind. Hoping we can support our sailors and each other. Thanks

Comment by JoAnn on June 15, 2016 at 2:10pm: Hello everyone, I wanted to know if anyone can tell me where I can get address for ship to send my son some clothing items that he requested. He said he would text me before he they left but he never did.

Comment by Dawn L. on May 29, 2016 at 10:39pm: Hello ladies. I have joined this group because my son's girlfriend is on this ship. This is her first deployment. My son is also a sailor and was on deployment in 2011- 2012. So it's been awhile since we've dealt with it. My son is having a hard time but he's got a good support team. He's never dealt with it from this end. His girlfriend has a little boy who is almost 2 years old. Thanks for welcoming me to your group.

Comment by JoAnn on May 11, 2016 at 6:39pm: Hello Renee, I did have a nice mother's day just missing my son. How waa your Mother's Day? So have you heard from your son. I last heard from my son last Thursday. Not sure how all this works when the are on a deployment.

Comment by Renee S. on May 9, 2016 at 8:47am: Hi Joann, hope you had a nice Mothers Day!
I definitely relate with how you're feeling! I'm used to talking to him everyday,.we are really close and miss him! He seemed excited the last time we spoke and sent me a few pictures that morning, which always seems to help me feel when he sends me pictures lol ..but, since he's been there he seems happy and sounds positive.
You're son didn't get much time to explore the base and the area, so hopefully they gave him a nice welcome!
Hopefully we hear from them very soon!

Comment by JoAnn on May 2, 2016 at 10:43pm: Hello Renee it feels good to hear that your son is happy & enjoying it. I really hope they are able to come home for the holidays. How are you coping cause I am having a hard time because am used to talking to him an a every day basis. I know I will have to get used to it but just hard right now. Thanks for the comment I really needed to hear something positive.

Comment by Renee S. on May 2, 2016 at 8:55am: Hi Joann, my son has been in Yokosuka for just about 3wks now and he is also on the CW. He is happy & really enjoying it there..he has mentioned that they should be back in Yokosuka before the holidays and that he should be able to come home for 2wks.
Of course, nothing is for sure..but it does sound possible!

Comment by JoAnn on May 1, 2016 at 11:07am: Hello everyone, my son just arrived on the CW and Japan yesterday and just found out he is going on a 10 month deployment. Does anyone know if he will be able to come home once they get back?

Comment by ManCubMama on January 27, 2016 at 3:00pm: Frustrated with the "no contact" from my sailor on the CW! Can't plan a trip without knowing a few details! Anyone know approx. when they are heading back to Yokosuka?

Comment by JAS65 on February 5, 2015 at 4:47pm: Hi everyone, just joined this page. My son is new to CW and Japan, still in the adjusting process, any words of encouragement?
