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 Spruance families! My son just finished his A School in Great Lakes and just received his orders, he will be heading to San Diego and on to the USS Spruance as a QM. He (and we) are very excited! This site really helped me through bootcamp and I am hoping to find friendships and support through this stage of my Navy Mom life also. I am brand new to all this, first bc then school and now his orders and deployment. Thanks and it is nice to meet you all!

Commissioning was awesome --- visiting the different you tube postings & stuff fromt he commissioning committee has been so neat to see

We hadn't gotten our tickets yet but they said they'd go out by 9/15 --- looking forward to seeing our son --- talked to him when they were in Yorktown, VA - only there for a day I think -- says its so beautiful at night on the sea. Can't wait to see him ----- see you all --- we'll be easy to identify with the big SMILES on our faces.

They sail out tomorrow --- can't believe it --- do you know how they communicate with us??

We wound up getting a hotel room --- my son said that there was a deadline & if you didn't make it - you didn't have a spot. So we played it safe. Never heard anything on the codo.
