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."

I'm hoping that someone will post videos and pics of the homecoming. My son is pretty adament about us not making the drive because he has watch today and will be driving home tomorrow. I'm heartbroken that I can't be there, so if any of you see a strikingly handsome tall blonde ice blue eyed young man in his 20's named Dustin...please HUG him and tell him it's from his Mom and I'll see him tomorrow! Thanks to all and enjoy your sailors presence!!!! may you all always have fair winds and following seas!

I can hardly contain myself, im so excited!. im consumed with the thought of our boys finally coming home!...im not going to make the trip for the Homecoming, but just knowing my son and his wife are going to see each other soon makes me so happy. He is coming home a week or so after, so i will see him soon. Going to start making signs to put on the road leading to our house..:)...im so PROUD of all of our boys serving on the Alex..., this is a big accomplishment. We are from a very small town here in PA and his decision to join was a big one. I hope they all have a quick/smooth adjustment period, and thank all of your Sailors for me for serving on this long journey with my son..:)..And to all of you who are making the trip....HAVE FUN!!
