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, I am new to the group. Just found out that my son will finish his C-school and is being assigned to this ship. Excited for him, but a little nervous as this will be his first assignment.

kjkooz. No problem. I agree. New ones to the site need to be reminded as well as us older ones. Thanks!!! I am so glad so many of you will be there to greet our sailors. My sailor will be flying home for some time with us once they return. Can't wait...

d0shir01 I knew that you knew the rules - just have noticed a few new names and wanted to give a gentle reminder! Sorry you won't be able to come to Hawaii - but at least you got a chance to go once. This might be our first and last trip there too!

Thanks for the reminder. Yes, I know we can't post dates. Just wanted to know if anyone heard there was a specific date or not. I wasn't expecting the date to be posted. But, I agree, we all have to be careful what is posted. I just hope they get to come home on time. I am just sorry that I won't be there to greet my sailor when they finally come home. Too expensive to fly. We did go out last June and had a great time with them before they left.

Just a reminder to those that are new - remember the OPSEC rules about not posting anything on this site (in regards to sailors name, ship return dates, etc...) We don't want any of our boys/girls to get in trouble. In my experience, private face book messages are better for chatting about anything specific or forming friendships. Sorry, don't mean to preach! ;-)
