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 know what you mean, I just enjoy them sharing the photos and once in awhile you see your loved one in one of the photos . my son has been on the Bataan before . He said while deployed he take quite time at the front of the boat. He would see dolphins jumping thru the water. The storys your son will have to share with you is priceless.
I havent gone to see my son yet in VA but want to. He is my oldest and his brother has followed him into the service and my 3rd son is undesided weather to serve but I know his brothers will have a say. I hope to get to see himthere to see what could be his future. Good luck mom and we are all here to support each other. tc Shari

I am a Bataan mom too! He arrived in Jan as well. My son just got back from liberty. He is so proud of his ship.. I must say it is amazing. We were there in July and got the chance to have a tour. All I can say is WOW! The Turman (I think) came back from deployment while we were there. They are very very impressive. You know that they have a special FaceBook page to get pictures and some info on them. On Mothers Day I got a Mom greeting from Kevin on FB. When I say it I was crying. We are a great group of Bataan Moms or Navy Moms!!

Hi Caro'smom- this will be my son's first ship as well. He is a CT and does direct support and is slated for deployment after the first of the year sometime. He is training right now and will be on the Bataan for the next couple of months just to learn what his role will be.
