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 mamasan 4/809 on November 7, 2013 at 6:03pm: So, there is a really fun little place called Prohibition Gastropub in Everett...it actually was featured on an episode of Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. :)

Weve been a few times and its yummy...they also have a biggish room in the back depending on how many of us can make it. Its my new favorite place and the prices are a bit better than Anthony's... Its only about a mile and a halffrom the base.

Heres the link..http://www.prohibitiongastropub.com

Comment by Sandid24 on November 7, 2013 at 5:41pm: We plan on being there unless something happens. Hopefully we will know their schedule soon so we can fight with Delta again LOL... We would love to meet

Comment by spyder013 on November 7, 2013 at 5:00pm: I will be there unless tc happens. The restaurant right next to the base on the water is delicious and has great sourdough; ). I plan on staying at the inn at port gardner. And yes...it would be fun to meet the night before.

Comment by joirenee on November 7, 2013 at 4:55pm: So, who will be at the final destination? Do you all want to meet somewhere the day before for dinner/drinks/getting to know one another? Anyone have any suggestions? We just drove by the base yesterday and there are one or two nice restaurants on/near the entrance to the base, should we pick one of those?

Comment by spyder013 on November 7, 2013 at 4:22pm: Not certain. ..I agree the main thing is they get home safe and also agree we will be updated by sometime tomorrow if not today:).
I'm thinking they're all working extra hard to get underway

Comment by Sandid24 on November 7, 2013 at 3:19pm: We looked on the internet last night and the calculation. The only thing is we were not sure which port they were going to...the Tiger Cruise port or home port? Do any of you know ?

Comment by spyder013 on November 7, 2013 at 2:40pm: Hang in there. ..more news to follow:)

Comment by joirenee on November 7, 2013 at 2:33pm: Okay everyone here is some info for you to be able to calculate when the ship may arrive. I am not going to completely detail it out but you can do the math-a general Navy destroyer can travel about 30-35 knots an hour, so now find the mileage from where they are and where they need to go. If you take how far they can go in a day you can figure, once they start traveling how long it will take. Basically, I calculated it and I am not happy!

Comment by greeneshire on November 7, 2013 at 9:34am: I was able to speak to my son last night. His spirits are high so that made this mama very happy. I too will not be able to be there at the Homecoming so if you can find my son as well and give him a BIG hug from us that would be GREAT!!! I can give you specifics if you email me at greeneshire@yahoo.com. Thanks!!!
