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."

Thanks for all the great ideas for if we hopefully get to go out to SD in August or September. It's been fun to watch RIMPAC on facebook and see all the pics and some of the Stockdale. I'm in central Indiana (Carmel)....is anyone else nearby?

Hello everyone,
I know they are out for about a month now with RIMPAC, and I know they can't get mail now. I was told that it would take at least a couple of weeks. My son said he had a great time in Hawaii and now they are looking at rough seas right now..keep an eye on the weather!

Ohhhh, they wouldn't dare hold mail for months. They'll deliver it. we're in anderson.

There are no questions that are dumb. You should get an FPO AP address from your sailor. btw, are you in Indy? Would love to meet/tt a parent in central IN. We are 30 mi. from Indy

Yes, see all of what indyrules said and if you really like Mexican food, go to Miguels (?) on Coronodo. It was absolutely the BEST! Our son arranged for us to stay at Navy Lodge within walking distance of the NEX. Since it's on the base, he has to be there to get you on base...you can drive out at will. We used the train sometimes that runs right in front of the lodge.

My sailor son did call this weekend at 3 a.m., but it was worth the last sleep to hear from him. He's not a letter writer. So we just wait for the phone calls. It is hard when it can be a while in between calls. I know his first deployment will be hard for us. We hope to go out in Sept. to see him! Our first trip out, so if anyone has any advice for places to stay, things to see, etc....let us know. Thanks!
