Go to "Settings" above to set your Username.  While there, complete your Profile so you can post and share photos and videos of your Sailor and share stories with other moms!

Make sure to read our Community Guidelines and this Navy Operations Security (OPSEC) checklist - loose lips sink ships!

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."

Got my call at 4:15 this morning.....they are in Port and safe in Singapore!  Wow, it was so very good to hear her voice!  It will be a good day!

From the Facebook page:

We are safe and our schedule is so far unaffected by the recent tsunami in Japan. Our thought and prayers are with the victims and the rescuers. -CO 101
Comment by Cindy (Proud mom of my Sailor!) on March 11, 2011 at 10:19am
There is a comment on fb from the official site, that they are safe!  Thank you God!
Comment by Joy on March 11, 2011 at 3:45am

I would imagine that they are okay.  A DDG in deep water should be a relatively safe place compared to the images on CNN. 

Prayers for those in Japan.
