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."

Thanks Cheffiona,

I think that is the hardest part not knowing and waiting to hear something. But, I think he is doing ok, I know he his loving the weather. Before he left home we got some snow from the storm sandy. I said to him," well you got to see snow before you left'. He said he really didn't need to see it. LOL  He also had a friend from bootcamp that was there on a different pier that is from San Diego, pick him up for dinner. That was nice. How long has your daughter been in? Does she like it?

Hi Kurtmansmom,

 

Welcome aboard to your son, its because the ship is in the yard.  Things will sort themselves out and im sure your son will find out more information as he is there longer, some or all of which he may not be able to tell you!

Anyway nice to have you as part of our group, please feel free to ask any questions and if we can answer them we will and please add me as a friend if you wish.

Hi Ladies, my so just arrived un SD last night. He stays on a birthing barge. Looks like a big house boat!  He said he packed way too much, so I assume he will need to ship some of it back or store it somewhere else. I was a little confused when he said he's not on base. Don't understand .

Hey and welcome to Comstock, sometimes we do forget to check in. My son is on the USS Comstock also and has been on there for several years also. I think things seem to be a little quieter when they are not deployed, but we are still here and happy to answer any questions you might have.

Comment by cheffiona on October 23, 2012 at 5:19pm

Welcome Seabreeze & Kurtsmansmon to the USS Comstock, sometimes we forget to check in.  If there are any questions you may have please feel free to ask!  My daughter has been on this ship since 2010 and through a deployment already.

 

So welcome aboard.

Comment by Kurtmansmom on October 23, 2012 at 1:37pm

Hi Seabreeze, my son also is heading to the USS Comstock. His rate is an OS. Just graduated from A school last week and is home till November 2.
