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."

Hi all, Today is Chrissy's 30th Birthday. I have been a Navy Mom for almost 6 years. Missing birthdays and holidays is still hard. She had to work today but her shipmates did some nice things for her when she got off duty.

Hi Sylvia - nice to see you on here too! glad that your son is feeling less discouraged - I do think being able to leave the ship helps a lot. I wish the FRG did more, too, but am hoping that as we close in on a deployment date we'll hear more. ;-D

eeyoregirl ship 14 div 031 - once I made the request to add, it took quite a while for it to happen - if it helps, the group administrator is Robert Seipp whom you may be able to reach via facebook - I don't know the name of the omsbudsman though - the FRG page and the closed group page on facebook are not at all active - I think I've met maybe 3 other McFaul moms so far, and those through the Navy Moms of Norfolk page - if I learn anythingmore I will post. I've been told that as the ship gets closer to its deployment date, we'll get more contact/information. Sure hope this is the case! How is your son liking the McFaul? Mine loves the Navy and loves his work; he's been there almost a year now. best to you and your sailor!
