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 have asked that user after73 delete the post below several times in the last 2 weeks. I have no other option but to report this to the Chain of Command. Posting supposed or actual operational dates on social media sites is in direct violation of OPSEC. Please note that such violations can alter a ship's schedule drastically. These rules exist to keep our sailors safe! If you have any questions about this, please contact me at kathie.elmore@gmail.com.

My son doesn't want to give me the exact date of return, understandable, but I would like to be there. Does anyone have information about their return, can we meet them as they come off the ship?

Stores, such as Walmart, sell International pre-paid phone cards. Each brand of card will charge differently based on which ports your son is calling from. So, keep in mind that the minute amount specified on the card won't be an accurate representation of how long he will actually be able to talk. Rechargeable cards are great, too, so you can add more minutes whenever he pulls into a port. Just make sure to write down the phone number needed to recharge, and the card pin number, before you send it in a package to the ship! You could also just email him the information on the card, but don't forget to let him know the international codes, too!
