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."

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.

Welcome Mar3n1...My son has been on the Bataan for nearly 3 years. We like him being in Norfolk because, like you, he's fairly close to home. He seems to like it there. Lots to do around the area. They are out to sea right now so he's once again seeing the world on the Navy's dime!

Thank you. Super excited we finally know where he is being stationed. It'll be a few months I know and I know orders can change but I'm happy he will be fairly close to home and I have something I can do while he finishes up A school.

Mar3n1 welcome! I haven't been on here in a really long time. My son is with the Bataan - has been for about 3 years now

Just found out when my son is done with A school his orders are to be on this ship.
