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."

Deneen,
I didn't know it was you at first! I slept in the rack under your daughters! Met you on the ship the last day of the cruise! Just wanted to say how nice your little girl was to me and really helped me find my way around. Tell her Thanks again, next time you talk to her!

Hi Lois, and everyone, What a great cruise, and great people to get to know. I wish I had known about this site while they were under way. My son just left yesterday to go back to San Diego. Does anyone know what they have the kids do while the ship is dry docked? Thanks Lois, for sending me the link!

Hi Lois! Thanks for the info. My son, Josh, has been with the Rushmore for a little over 3 years! I miss him sooooo much. Yep, not going there or I'll start crying! Lol We're a close family. :o) Did you reserve a room with outrigger? And can you tell me what kind of discounts they give? I had no idea it was so expensive for a hotel there, wow!
I have to get ready and go to work, but I'll check back again as soon as I can! Have a great day! :)
