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."

Comment by legoNavymom03 on March 12, 2024 at 9:55am: Just found out my son has orders for joining the USS Hamilton in May. Any other sailors headed that way?

Comment by Cassababy on November 8, 2017 at 4:02pm: Hello all! My son is getting ready to head to SD and will be on this ship. I'm not very active on this site but thought I would join the group and say hi.

Comment by Christine Proud Son of ET on January 29, 2017 at 11:05pm: Hi there! I don't know if this page has an admin anymore but the location for this DDG is no longer Pearl Harbor. It moved to San Diego in early 2016.

Hi all you DDG Mom's I hope you are doing well. Has anyone heard whether the ship is going to be additional funding so that BEA can finish the repairs?

Comment by pamelau1970 on July 2, 2016 at 3:14pm: My son is also on the Paul Hamilton, Christine. They arrived in SD a while ago. I'm always searching for other moms! I hope your son is doing well!

Comment by Christine Proud Son of ET on July 2, 2016 at 2:16pm: DDG60 is no longer ported in Hawaii. They had a hull swap and are now in San Diego. My son is new to the ship; it looks like there isn't much activity amongst the mom's on this ship. Unfortunately, from what I hear morale is not good on board either. :(

Comment by pamelau1970 on October 2, 2015 at 8:26pm: Nice! That's great news Christine Proud Son of ET!

Comment by Christine Proud Son of ET on October 2, 2015 at 9:45am: Great news! My son meets up with the ship early next week.

Comment by pamelau1970 on October 1, 2015 at 9:20pm: Hi mom0717! I'm so excited to have other moms on the Paul Hamilton to reach out to! My son will meet up with the ship next weekend. When will your son arrive in SD? I hope he gets to spend some time in Pearl and travel back aboard the ship next year.
