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 am actually moving out of FB don't like all the nastiness that can go on there. I think here it is a safer environment. Also fairly safe from hackers. We have to be a little careful for our sailors safety and they monitor these pages. My son loves to fish so this will be good news for him.

Can they email? Haven't heard from him since Fathers day. Put his phone on Military hold. Was told Verizon does not work overseas and when they are on the water. He thought he would have access to email and a phone? Do they still do the Hotdog eating contest on the 4th?

You are so welcome! I saw you asked about the mailing address on the destroyer moms group. This is the address my son gave me. He told me that he was told the first mail drop will be about 2 months from now and once the mail starts it will be more regular.
