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 Bandmom - Thanks for the well-wishes for our recruit! Have had a few emails from our sailor. Found images on the Stennis facebook page and the Pacific Fleet Flickr page, and a news article on the Pacific Fleet's Navy official news site. :-) Hope you all are looking at those pages, maybe you'll see your sailors!

Hello lomom, I hope that you got a little news from your sailor in the last couple of days. According to my sailor, they are loosing communication again soon. Keep in touch.

Hello and greetings, all. Just joined the group today. Son has been on ship since early summer 2017; this is our first deployment, too. I lurk on the ship's facebook page hoping they'll post something, lurk on the carrier's page too, in hopes to see the Stockdale in the background, but the carrier has gone silent of late, too. Odd not to know *where in the world* our sailor is. (And his younger brother heads to Marines boot camp tomorrow, so I'm permitted to be an emotional wreck, but aside from some tears mid-October, I'm OK.) Prayers to all of you.

Is anyone else struggling with this silence thing? It is driving my bonkers!

musicteachermom, my son joined the Stockdale about the same time. He is also and E.T. I wonder if they were in A School together. My son hasn't been on the ship much ( until now) because they were sending him to 2 different C-Schools. So this is only the 2nd time that he has been out on the ship. Nothing like learning everything all at once. I just hope that he got his sea legs and didn't get sick. When you visited your son, did you get to go on the ship? We did, it was quite interesting.

Hello TahoeZephyr, I accepted your friend request. How is this Silence thing going for you? I am not ashamed to say that I am struggling. Especially since his golden birthday was on the 25th. That was the hard part. I did send a birthday package, but he probably won't get it until Thanksgiving. HA HA. Sending out the Christmas box this weekend.
