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."

Welcome, Cathilee! The USS Normandy has an active FRG, if you are interested. Email me at gapstopper57@yahoo.com and I will hook you up. The USS Normandy is a fine ship-my son has been onboard for several years. Unfortunately,, I am a short-timer, as he will probably come out this year. I understand, with the budget cuts, they are finding it difficult to re-enlist, unless they are on a specific career path. Have a great day!

Hi, my son says they didn't feel a thing on the ship. I think a far bigger threat is Irene this weekend.

muddah/Sam-My son is being stationed in the Normandy next month. He just graduated from bootcamp last Friday...sooooooooo proud. It was a wonderful ceremony. We're finding out the information bit by bit. When do they get deployed? Thanks for any comments! Hooyah!

My husband was recently stationed on this ship. I figured this would help us find our way.

My daughter was on the last deployment and is also currently on the Normandy.I just started helping with her taxes and found out that you actually go by their Home of Record. My daughter is stationed in Norfolk, but her home of record is NY, so I use that address and file NY state forms for her. Hope this helps!
