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."

So excited - I am from New York so am really looking forward to seeing my son during fleet week - just wish they were not in Staten Island (ugh!)

Hi - my name is also Linda - my son has been on the Kauffman fir about 9 months - he came right from Great Lakes A school but got 2 weeks leave to come home first - check to see if that is what your son is going to get. My son also does not do details well - so I understand!

Hey Rhonda, it was great to meet you and Cindy also. It was amazing watching the ship come in. We left Christmas evening to beat the storm and I am so glad we did - it is indeed a winter wonderland in NY!! Happy and healthy New Year to all!
