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."

My son was previously assigned to the USS Fitzgerald but since the accident, he is now assigned to the USS Barry. I am quite nervous as the 7th fleet has had a rough year.

re hi all
my son used to be on the barry. He is a veteran now. Still I feel so attached to the barry family that I like to check in here every once in awhile to say hello to all and thanks to the families of those who still serve :)

Poke'MOM - Is a machinist mate in the engineering dept? My son emailed me yesterday too. But he was wanting some information for his thrift saving account. ha I answered him, but have not heard back again. Maybe he has duty today. He said he was going to try and find some WiFi so he can call us. How long has your son been in the Navy?

My son is also on Barry. Any advice you can give me on the ombudsman I would appreciate. I know what it is, just dont know who it is... How are your sailors doing so far in Japan? My son is a machinist mate, messaged me last night and said he was tired, he just played soccer. :)
