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."

Has anyone heard when the CW will be shipping out?
-

Just got a text from my son letting me know he boarded his flight to Japan. He's newly assigned to the CW as a FC. His older brother has been stationed in Japan for the past 2 years and will be meeting him at the airport when he arrives (since his sponsor is out on the ship). Looking forward to keeping in touch with you all.

My daughter is assigned the Curtis Wilbur. First, she must complete C school. Anyone know how long that will be? She says she doesn't know. What is the usual length of assignment on the CW? Again, she says she doesn't know. Thank you!

My son has been on the USS Curtis Wilbur since January 2011. He just received his orders to San Diego in early 2014! I can't wait to have him back in the states!!!

Jansu I can't remember the address for when they are gone. Can you send it to me on PM please. I think this will be my son's last trip. He is training a new guy to take his place. Last year he was the one getting trained. Now he is doing the training. How time flies by.
