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."

Yes, I've heard from my son twice. He called before they pulled into port and when he finally got to get off the ship. He had duty when they first arrived so yesterday he was able to get off and said the first order of business was FOOD! My second son also heard from him and all was well. I think the weather is good there and hopefully all our sailors will be able to see some of Seattle and have a good time.

Ladies, I think I am back for a while. I had to take a break to finish classes. I finished yesterday, so now, I think I have more time to spend on my favorite spot next to facebook! lol
Jane, I asked my son, and he knows your son. He said that when someone is new to the ship, they have to spend time in the galley, so he gets to meet new sailors.
Has anyone heard from their sailor since they left for Seattle? Richard called once, but I haven't heard from him since.

Hi all! I see we have some new moms in the group! Welcome! I'm glad you were able to get the links to the email newsletter. It's full of great info.
Right about now they're in Seattle, I hear the weather is nice. I hope all our sailors will have the opportunity to see a little of the city.
I hope they all have a successful trip out and have good stories to tell upon their return.
