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 decided to start this group to see who else may have a Sailor on this ship; or heading to this ship.

Granted, we may be a bit limited to what we can discuss openly online, but if nothing else, may be a good way to connect and network off-line as well.

Make sure to not disclose advance ship movements or other OPSEC issues.

My son is an FC2 on this ship.

Got the package with the camera.

So I'm guessing there busy.

Comment by JillG on May 15, 2011 at 6:11pm: it's a shame that they have to take the page down. about 3 weeks ago i noticed one day i couldnt get to it for some reason so hopefully they will put it back up!

sandra- my sailors email was acting funny this weekend. i think the message got too big from all the replying back and forth. but he did call today and said he got to drink a couple beers today. glad they get to enjoy themselves a little.

Comment by ckmom on May 15, 2011 at 6:07pm: Thanks Kellie for the info.

Comment by Crystal on May 15, 2011 at 5:54pm: I went on FB too to go on the page and it wasn't working. I thought it was just me.

Comment by JillG on May 11, 2011 at 5:06pm: My sailor called this morning, but we got cut off about 2 minutes into the conversation. The phone didn't completely disconnect so i kept talking, but goodness that was frustrating! He is back at his old job so he gets to email me more often! :)

Comment by Kathy Dee on May 10, 2011 at 4:09pm: Got a call from my girl this past Sunday - Mother's Day!!! The call came through at 6:51 in the morning and we almost did not answer it since it said caller unknown. So glad we picked it up. She sounds good and of course asked for snacks and lotions and stuff. It was already in the mail so hopefully she gets it soon.

Glad to know that others got call on our special day as well.

Comment by siscarrie on May 9, 2011 at 4:29pm: I hope everyone had a good mothers day, I got a call from my son yesterday,I am so glad. He received 3 packages and he told me to hold off a little bit on the packages, he is out of space, I figured some of our sailors would receive all the packages at once,Lol. I'm just gonna put some money on his calling card.

Kellie, i watched that last night all by myself and cried like a baby, I really miss my son.

Comment by ckmom on May 9, 2011 at 11:45am: Curtis emailed me finally!! Now I'm happy got to hear from all my kids.

Comment by JillG on May 9, 2011 at 9:32am: Kellie- I love that show! I use it as my excuse to cry once a week! It is Army Wives that i have to stop watching! At least Coming Home makes me cry happy tears. Army Wives is starting to depress me!!

I hope everyone had a good Mother's Day! Glad to hear most of yall got to hear from your sailor!
