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."

Comment by dogwalker on March 28, 2011 at 1:49pm: While mentioning what they do on off duty time while still onboard the ship doesn't necessarily compromise much, it is ALWAYS best to err on the side of caution. Please people, remember that my sailor, the father of my children, is on that ship as well. His safety is more important to me than knowing where he is all the time or knowing what he is doing. I ask simply that you would respect that as it seems that that is not happening much here. There are plenty of people/groups out there who would love to know the morale and loaction of our crew and keeping our sailors (you children, my husband, somebody's wife, someone elses parent) safe should be the number one priority. Not whether or not you hear from them every day!

Comment by Elane on March 27, 2011 at 6:25pm: I think mentioning their on-ship off-duty activities is okay. As long as you are NOT mentioning specific location of ship, or dates it's due to do what. The fact that they get a picnic, BBQ, or ice cream social doesn't compromise the security of their location or mission at hand. I'm glad to hear they are able to have some social activities and some down time.. Glad it's not all Work, work, work.

Comment by Cheryl on March 27, 2011 at 1:02pm: Good morning everyong, hope everyone has had a good weekend. Hope our sailors are well and glad to know they get some down time, I know they are glad to get it. I do get an email everyday from my son, it may be short, but I will take what I can get just to know he is okay.

@cheffiona glad we get the updates from B and hope she is doing well from the surgery and you get everything fixed with your router soon. I know that that can be frustrating.

Comment by cheffiona on March 27, 2011 at 11:51am: Good morning have had router issues this morning 1 hour on the phone with linksys!! So missed chatting with B although she sent email and fb that they are having a barbecue again on deck and are able towear civis I hope im allowed to say this as I have seen similar posted on other ships groups!! Im sure I will find out shortly if im not supposed to mention it! Anyway just thought Comstock family would like to hear that they do get a break from daily routine for a bit and get to have some socializing time and relax! Thank you to all Officers on the Comstock who make this event possible! And to all the sailors enjoy!!

Comment by navynana on March 27, 2011 at 12:39am: thank goodness for B. WE count on her updates.Yes we are getting emails, thanks. Got to get out and get the Easter stuff in the mail.

Comment by cheffiona on March 26, 2011 at 1:55pm: Good morning e! got some of those camo plastic egg and leaopard print B likes that and jelly beans ready to mail on monday! Internet has been down on and off for a few days but B still manages to find her way to get to the computer when it working lol!! pretty windy here today in NV supposed to be 70s tomorrow but i wont complain cos when it gets to 100 -115 nearly everyday in the long summer months its gonna be miserable!!! lol Hope you are all getting contact whatever way with your sailors!!!

Comment by Elane on March 26, 2011 at 11:56am: hope all is well with your sailors... Did get brief email from mine finally. Same stuff different day, basically. Internet is limited and those w/families seem to grab it, when it's avail. But at least I know he hasn't floated off the ship. :)

Spring is definitely here, 70 on Tues yesterday 4 inches of snow... but wait 10 mins and the weather will probably change again.. gotta love those 4 seasons..just not all in one day/week?

Comment by dogwalker on March 24, 2011 at 12:14am: For everyone else, POPTARTS! My husband and his shop cannot get enough of them. Every once in a while they'll have them on the mess decks but if you're there too late, you miss out. They're always a nice surprise. Girl scout cookies too!

Comment by dogwalker on March 24, 2011 at 12:11am: @navynana- they won't figure it out, they're the Navy, God bless them but there are definitely some things that could change that would make things a lot easier.

Comment by cheffiona on March 23, 2011 at 11:02pm: @BM3Simswife good idea with the camo eggs and jelly beans! I did already send some easter candy but not plastic eggs maybe ill send some!
