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."

Happy New Year to everyone! I'll also be leaving the group as my son will be heading stateside, too. I'm so excited to have him on the West Coast and the same time zone as us. You all have been lifeline for the last two years and will continue to follow the Fitz-the best destroyer of the 7th fleet!

Hi all and happy Holidays! Computer has been down but my spirits are high as my sailor is seeing his hard work pay off! Anxiously waiting to see pictures of Christmas party and frocking ceremony. Praying for peace and good cheer this season.

Maybe You tube but if not go to google and google Clinton/USS Fitzgerald or Clinton/Philippines and you can read the articles. Hopefully, Fitz will have some pictures on facebook soon.
