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."

Good for you 10-10 Mom! I got an email this morning and I was in such a good mood today. lol She said they have been really busy and the same about computer/email. I'm just thankful we got to hear from them!

Joy, thanks so much for that info. I searched for them early yesterday on fb and it wasn't up yet. I'm glad you let us know!

Ladies, I'm not sure how many of you have a Facebook account...however, USS Gridley (DDG 101) is underway there as of yesterday. The page is under "governmental organization".

I rarely hear from my son, maybe an email every 2-3 weeks. Last time, he said he was always busy and tired, sleeping few hours a day. That's all
Greetings

Had some contact this morning. Things are changing on the ship/rules are different. Bored, but fine. I think they're getting tired of the water! lol

Hey 10-10Mom, I haven't heard a thing from my daughter. I have sent my normal emails with a "read receipt" and I know that she has picked a few up and I noticed that she updated her fb a little. It's like they've just dropped off the raidar. I know that they are all fine, I just miss the contact with her. I'll let you know if I hear anything if you'll do the same!

Ahhhhh, got to talk to her at 11:30 last night, a great 20 min conversation. She sounded great. They've been working very hard, not much time to do much. It was great hearing her voice!

It seems to be pretty quiet on my end, anyone else have any contact?

Christine, I had emails yesterday, but haven't had anything today. Hopefully we'll start getting calls since they are in Port!

Hey, it doesn't matter how old he is, EVERYONE needs to know that they are thought of! HoooYaa to you!
