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 Bobbie on April 30, 2015 at 12:21pm: Is there another active page for the USS Ramage families?

Comment by Kerin on December 23, 2011 at 7:39pm: Thank you so much for all of your information. Bless our families! Hope to see you soon. Kerin

Comment by Jessica Rubano on December 22, 2011 at 10:19pm: Kerin- yes your son has to be the one to add you to ombudsman for their per-cautions and safety reasons ;) just went through it myself

Comment by ChrisyDVM(Chris'sMom) on December 22, 2011 at 8:14pm: Kerin, I believe you will need to email your son and ask him to contact the ombudsman and give her permission to send you the ship's info and pics of the day, etc or ask your son for that info. This is my son's 1st deployment also and I'm still learning a ton but the info passed down from the ship as well as this site has been very helpful! My son is coming home with the earlybirds...anyone else out there in the same "boat"?

Comment by Brianna54 on December 22, 2011 at 7:32pm: Kerin- Email the ombudsman and let her know who u have aboard the ship and tell her you are wanting information on arrival date. etc. ussramage.ombudsman@gmail.com

Comment by Kerin on December 22, 2011 at 7:20pm: Homecoming seems so long as we approach Christmas without our husbands, sons, daughters and friends but knowing that they are indeed coming home makes the wait bearable. As I live in the west how do I find out an anticipated arrival date? Is there a contact number or link I can access?

Comment by rrenems on December 22, 2011 at 3:42pm: Hi I am Robin. My son is aboard the Ramage. Can't wait to see him in Norfolk. His fiancee, me and my mom will be there, so I am sure I will be seeing many of you then. Hang in there girls. It is almost time to see our guys.

Comment by Jessica Rubano on December 22, 2011 at 3:20pm: Hi ladies, my name is Jessica my husband is aboard the Ramage. I just wanted to say hi to everyone!!! :)

Comment by ChrisyDVM(Chris'sMom) on December 21, 2011 at 1:18am: Hi Kerin and Cindie! I haven't been on here in a while. Can't wait to see my son! Miss him sooo much! Christmas will be hard without him. Keeping my eyes on Jesus and praying for the Ramage's safe return!
