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."

I completely forgot about this site. My son is now attached to the BHR. It doesn't look like there is much chatter on here. Last post was in January. Is there another site everyone is using?

Tina - Thanks Tina. Thought that is what he was up to.
Katie is home for a 1-week pre-deployment leave (or whatever the official name is).

Tina - your grandson is so adorable. Remind me what your son is going to San Antonio for school and then what he will be doing in Charleston, SC? I just can't seem to remember.
Welcome new Moms. cgloddy....my daughter said 'yes the ship runs out of things'....Katie was on the USS Essex/Bonhomme Richard from April 2009-May 2012 as a DC.
Speaking of Katie........she arrived at 12:30 am this morning with one of her friends. They drove from Norfolk after getting off work - Katie did all the driving even though it was Jamie's car. Jamie continued on to her home about an hour or so north of us.

Hi everyone! It's been awhile since I've posted, so thought I'd pop in and say hello and welcome to our new Moms! My son is on the BHR and has been in Sasebo for almost three years now - WOW! 3 years...looking back it has gone fast.
Cgloddy, my son has never mentioned running out of anything. But he did say that he loved having his own food available so that he didn't have to wait in the long, long lines for chow!! So my care packages consist of food/snacks.
It's been below zero and single digits here in upstate NY...looking forward to spring :-)
Take care all,
Cathy

Hello, when the ship was last deployed, did your sailors say that they needed anything special, or that they ran out of something. This will be my son's first deployment and I want to make sure that he will be prepared. :-)
