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.

.    Thanks navy moms, you have all been a blessing to me.  My son joined the navy 4 years ago, and couldn't have made it without the support of everyone from all the groups with Navy for Moms. He has been home now for about 2 months.  He has been with his brother and dad everyday on the farm and loving being back home again.   me too!!      Curtis left today for college orientation at mizzou.   He will be leaving us again in the fall for college, this time won't be near as hard as when he left to join the Navy.     Love you all and so good to have this group, I will keep in touch and Special thank you to our wonderful military everywhere in the world right now.  So proud !!

Just received this link from my son. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CIgaCP0quo The ship rescued 282 persons of the coast of Malta. Here is a video of some of the work our sailors and marines do! God Bless America.

Hi I'm new to this group, my son just got flown out to the ship today. He was able to call us when he arrived. I asked him what it was like and he said VERY BIG lol.

Has anyone hear anything from the ombudsmen yet?

Comment by Juliefrog68 on February 9, 2014 at 12:47pm
Everyone yhats not, needs to be on the Family Support for USS Bataan Facebook page. Its a closed group maintained by the Omsbudsmen. You have to tell them your relationship to your Sailor. They have posted lots of pictures and videos.

I was not able to be there today either but I sure hope I am there for the homecoming. I did get a text this morning from my son that said I love you. It made me cry but I was glad I got it.
