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.

Mamabear...from what I understand, there isn't a date set for the tiger cruise. There is a Facebook page for the families that your Sailor can get you into...Bataan FRG. It's a closed group, but like I said, your Sailor can get you into it...I find out a lot of what's going on by going to that Facebook page.

Forever proud- Sorry, I just now saw your post. I don't think there are very many spouses in this group. I was referring to underways being extended and/or ship communication being cut off. And the pre-deployment craziness in general... All that fun stuff :p

Hi Goat - i'm not a wife, but a mom. What kind of frustration are you experiencing? Or have you worked it out already?

-
Any other wives in this group dealing with underway frustration?

If it was a legitimate person they would post to the site, and why would they send me an email. BEWARE. Love to all.
