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."

clangsto I got APO/FPO kits from the post office I need more so have been looking for the info I called from the first time, Anyone know it? They sent me for free boxes specifically for military overseas mailing, labels, tape and customs forms. I will send you a friend request and message you the address I am using as I think it is not appropriate to post here.

CO-TwinSalors Mom: Where did you see the photos? Facebook? I want to look for my son. I have mailed 2 packages and each time the post office said that the origin zipcode for FPO is not accepting mail except express mail. They told me to go ahead and mail it. I am waiting to make sure he gets them before I send any more.

My son told me someone caught a large puffer fish. I enjoyed seeing the photos from ship activities. They posted a steel beach party and swim duty. I just mailed a box I got the kit from the 800# for military mail kits, they send for free, overseas boxes (flat rate $14.00) Tape, labels and customs forms.

I am so excited I almost pee'd . Got a FB message from Stephen !!! First I have heard from him in two and a half weeks. Oh well that does not actually sound that long but it sure has felt long. He Loves being at sea, having great adventures and seen lots of neat places. He said, "now I remember why I joined." He said he will have lots to share later. He sent a FB message because he couldn't get his email to work.

I have received only a couple of e-mails. I sent a package via USPS and they told me that they were not accepting packages to the zip code for the ship. I sent it anyway and will see what happens. Also got the same story about fishing from the flight deck.

Still have heard nothing from my son, hope all is OK for him.

Anyone know if the Bainbridge has a bible study? What is the Chaplain like? I have been very happy that my son connected with both the chaplains at GL and in Pensacola. He volunteered a lot and set his watch to be the Chapel. I hope this does not end on the ship.
