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."

Loving a Sailor isn't much fun
but its worth the price when the battle is won.
And remember he's thinking of you every day,
he's sad and he's lonely while so far away.
So love him and miss him and hold your head high,
Be strong and have faith, wipe that tear from your eye.
Your man's a seafarer, like that old ancient trader,
It's a high price you pay for loving a Sailor!

Comment by babrams7 on June 2, 2011 at 5:42pm: I don't know anything about tiger cruises but I figure that since the USS Rentz is all male that only men would be able to go on it. I need to research what a tiger cruise entails.

Comment by tina_sailor87 on June 2, 2011 at 5:33pm: Please God let this deployment get cut short!!! I heard that there is a tiger cruise in the works so hopefully you will be able to go unfortunate spouses cant go :(

Comment by babrams7 on June 2, 2011 at 5:31pm: Hi Tia,

Here's the email to get on the list: rentzombudsman@gmail.com

I am having a hard time not talking to my son. He's not a mama's boy but we always chatted at least once a week. The only thing that makes it easier for me is the fact that tina-sailor87's husband is training my son so I know he's in good hands.

Here's hoping that the deployment gets cut short and they come home sooner!!

Comment by tina_sailor87 on June 2, 2011 at 1:44pm: As of right now there is not a time frame when it will be back up it could be a while. I understand completely I am in the same boat total hubby withdrawls

Comment by TXSouthernbelle on June 2, 2011 at 1:11pm: Howdy Yall

I am new to the Navy wives club and to the Rentz. Prior to the Rentz my husband was on the McClusky. I was wondering when are they going to get their email back up bc I am going through husband withdrawal bad. Also how can I get added to the USS Rentz Ombudsman email list?

Thanks very much

Tia

Comment by tina_sailor87 on May 31, 2011 at 1:30pm: I sent it on may 16th and it got there on saturday. Now my hubby told me that they wont be recieving mail for awhile so yes it can take up to a month. also the email on the ship is on the fritz so if you havent heard from him in a while that is why.

Comment by Rhonda(EMmom) on May 31, 2011 at 1:24pm: Tina---let me know how long it took your box to get there? I was thinking about sending my son some stuff in a few weeks. I heard it can take a month to find them. Just wondering, thanks
