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 Mother's Day everyone. I'm hoping someone will log on today to help me. I have been moving and have misplaced the FPO address for the Mason. I just checked the rules for this board and it is possible to post the FPO address. I have a package ready to go just can't find the address. Please someone help.

Thank you. I did get some of my emails to send without an issue but some still will not send (with and without attachments). I can't seem to figure out why but I'm sure it will fix itself soon or at least I hope.

My husband is on the Mason and ALL of my emails to him tonight have been rejected. I was wondering if anyone knew anything because I am aware of them having to shut down communications a couple times before on this deployment but not once have my emails been sent back and not been able to send. The message I got was "Rejected by the recipient domain. Technical details of permanent failure."

Down as in there is an issue with the internet they use or down because they are doing something? I hate not being able to talk to him. I have only seen him once in the last year and I know the next 6 months are gonna be hard for us both. I just hope it goes by super fast.

Hello ladies. This is my fiance's first deployment. He graduated the friday before they shipped out so this is all new for him and I. I'm having a lot harder time with this than I thought. Has anyone heard anything from anyone on the ship? I heard from him for a few days and now nothing for a week.
