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.

I know they said at the FRG meeting in Dec, that once we were seven days out, the return date wasn't a secret anymore, and it would end up being announced on the news. I think the time and pier number as well as tiger cruise are probably still not public information - if you have that information. I'm not 100% sure about that, though.

If anyone has a "hug request" e-mail me and I will do my best to track your son or daughter down, I know there are like a million people on that ship but I'm pretty persistent, ( my family says I'm a snapping turtle . . . . ."I don't let go till it thunders" ) anyway I WILL do my best.
so far I have Chandler, Curtis and CJ . . . lots of love to all

Great articles--when you read how long its been in print, it really makes you stop and think about how much time has really passed. I'm just still stunned to realize it really has been alomost a whole year since they've been gone.
