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."

USS Bataan LHD-5

Group for family members of Sailors who are on the USS Bataan (LHD-5)

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.

Comment by Miranda Nicole on November 23, 2011 at 5:30am: I dont comment here much but SisCarrie, I think my husband might know your son. He made OS on the last testing cycle and was undes. Before that and 2-3 days ago was telling me that one of his undes. buddies made OS this cycle. I saw your post when I was reading back.

Comment by VCabana523 on November 22, 2011 at 9:39pm: Well I guess your eight. I really don't have that kind of time to go to those meeting even night before homecoming. His parents are probably gonna be in town so I got to set up the banner and chill with his parents. It's really important for him to meet my aunt too. She is like the one he has to ask for a blessing from if he pops the questions Asian families don't play when it comes to that.

Comment by VCabana523 on November 22, 2011 at 8:14pm: I never get to goes to those meetings. So I can't put in a raffle. * hint if anyone wants to put me in for me please do so* Last name is Cabana it will make his day. lol (at least I can try)

Comment by VCabana523 on November 22, 2011 at 8:06pm: I hope so. His parents absolute me love me. They already offered about holidays because they know I spend it a lot alone most of the past years because of my family. I basically feel like I am in a fairy tale he has a wonderful family and my family is just so dysfunctional. I feel so blessed to be able to have invited to peoples meals. I mostly work a lot or study and my family can only stand each other for and hour. Its been hard deployment for me but a lifetime memory I will always keep because it showed me and him how strong we both are and how much dedication we have and that is a first for me and him. He told his parents the second week he we dated that I was the one. His dad told me that today. I was shocked because that was a year ago.
