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.

My son is also on the USS Bataan and he says its cold also. He is usually a warm nature person.

My son has been on the USS Bataan just a few short weeks. He has told his girlfriend that it is very cold on the ship and he sleeps in sweats. My question is does the ship not have heat?

Hi everyone...my son is in the midst of doing the work-up for deployment on the Bataan come sometime between Jan and Mar. Is there anyone else out there who has a son/daughter preparing for deployment after the first of the year on this ship? To train he will go up to Norfolk for a week or so, come back to his base for a week or so and go back up for an entire month, come back for a few days and head back up for another month of training. This will take him into mid-December...

My sailor lost his life last November. He has left the Battan for the Nitz and was on liberty in VA and hit by a train while on liberty. Please share this video of his life and memorial.
