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 ckmom on July 2, 2011 at 8:17pm: I'm so glad to hear it and yes they all deserve it to have a great 4th of July.

Welcome JustinsMom, what job does your sailor have?

Comment by JustinsMom175 on July 2, 2011 at 6:40pm: Hello ladies, I am new on this site but my son is currently deployed on the USS Bataan, and this is his first deployment. As it gets closer to the fourth of july I miss him more and more. Sure wish he was home, but I'm so proud of what he is doing as well as all of our young men and women who serve our country!!! Do you know what they are doing for the fourth? :(

I didn't see these on my yahoo account but this is what my son sent me this morning.

Comment by siscarrie on July 1, 2011 at 11:44am: My son just forwarded a message from frg, i hadn't been on there in a while. You send them pictures of your 4th of july celebration, make signs of telling your sailor you miss them,etc.. They are putting all the pics on dvd and saling them for 5 dollars.So everyone needs to check out the frg flyer, this is a great thing!!

Comment by siscarrie on July 1, 2011 at 11:25am: Hope everyone has a great 4th of july weekend!! We will be having ours without fireworks, still in a very bad drought here in texas:(

Comment by Kathy Dee on June 29, 2011 at 10:40am: Actually I just found out that I can order coveralls and other uniforms from the Uniform Support Center. That number is 1 800 368-4068. Anyone can use this number to order. You can also go to mynavyexchange.com and do the order that way. They have everything on that website. Once I get my daughter's coverall size, I can place the order and then have them shipped. Hope this information is helpful to others.

Comment by Kathy Dee on June 29, 2011 at 9:56am: My daughter actually called this morning. So nice to hear her voice. All is well she says. She did say she needs more coveralls from the NEX. She wanted to know if we can order them for her since it takes so long to get an internet connection on the ship. Are we allowed to order these from the NEX or does she have to be the one who places the order. When she got the original pairs, she placed the order herself in Norfolk. We live in Pennsylvania, so not sure how best to get her 3 new coveralls. She said she is wearing through them quickly. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
