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."

Hi Stacy's Mom and welcome to our group! My son Josh has been in Sasebo since May 2011. He was home on leave in August for about two weeks. Loved having him home and as you can imagine hard to say goodbye! He is a damage controlman (DC). This is a great group of Moms! In addition to checking in here for information, I also visit a facebook site named: USS BONHOMME RICHARD FRIENDS/FAMILY/ABOARD.
And another weekend comes to an end and starting the "rat race" all over again on Monday! Take care!
