OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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."

Thanks, ncmadocent, my son will be happy to hear that.

Yes, it was scheduled for decommissioning, but has been repaired to the point that it is now scheduled for deployment sometime next year (late?). Don't remember when for sure and even if I did, I wouldn't say it in such a public forum.

Thanks, ladies! My son is an ET who will graduate A school in Great Lakes right after the stand down. Yesterday they gave the guys their orders verbally and said the paper orders should be there next week. He's still got C school to complete and those orders may or may not be attached as well.
I've heard that this ship is scheduled for decommissioning, which has been delayed and may be cancelled. What's the scoop?

Hi ssbeach. I am a mom of a son on this ship. He reported there on 11/18/13, so he has not been there very long. I may not have that many answers either but Welcome Aboard.

I am, ssbeach. Although I am not a mom, but a mom-in-law. Don't have a lot of answers to questions, but I know a guy (whose been on the ship for a couple of years almost) who will have the answers.

We are at the LaQuinta, 1387 Military Hwy, Norfolk. My son lives within 5 miles of this location. We stayed here in July when we were up visiting other friends and checking on my son's house.
See y'all on the Pier.
