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.

@Joro
The first of the month paycheck was not affected because we were still in the tax free. Next paycheck will (not sure ) but the tax free will be gone. I believe everything else stays. I know the FSA (family separation allowance ) command has not said about the other pays yet....

As soon as the command gives the ombudsman the information they will be sending out the information via emails, groups and things of that nature. I would for those that can attend the FRG meeting on the 17th to go. There will be alot of emails going out over the next few weeks. Right now there are alot of speculations of when (time wise) and pier they will be pulling into. As soon as the command release that information to the ombudsman they will get that out.

Do I need to have a pass or something to get on base and what do I need to do to be on the pier when he arrives. I'm hoping to be at the homecoming party the night before but I don't have any details and have no idea what's needed to be on the pier.

I didn't know if your active duty and deployed you didn't have to pay personal property tax. I just paid Curtis before Dec. 31. Or is this only for Vi. state?

My sailor is being hit with personal property tax on his car? Has anyone had this issuse because I thought if they are active and on deployment they get exempted. Also that is the issuse for him to register his car for new tags in the state of Va. I already lived here but I don't know what to do also he needs to reinstate his base tags. Ugh right before he comes home we have to get this done so he can drive his car.

@Kathy Dee, ask your daughter, she knows when the return date is. Or, you could get in touch with the ombudsmen at bataanombudsman2003@yahoo.com
