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."

amazingly we got a lot of letters from him during basic (5-8 per week) which was a surprise since we never got a single letter from him in 8 years of summer camp - which was 4-8 weeks per summer. he's pretty good about keeping up with email (I guess texts are out of the question). he has yet to provide me with a mailing address for sending him packages.

Thanks. This is my first time out so I don't really know what to expect. I won't worry if I know I'm not gonna hear from him.

so does that mean we won't be hearing from them for a month?
-
-
has anyone heard where our kids are heading to today? or for how long?

I agree whole heartedly with Reid'sMa. Pray for him every chance you get. I would send cards letting him know how proud you are of him. Pictures and newspaper articles of what's going on in your area so he feels "attached" to home. Phone cards with international included and a pocket sized Bible.

Hi to all connected to the awesome Stockdale. My son and two others passed Chief's Board yesterday, will have a final walk-around with the Captain today to (finally) receive their ESWS! Two of the guys are separating from the Ship as it pulls out. My son will go to DLI-FLC in Monterey. This week was a praying, nail-biting, do-or-die experience for his family. He HAD to get that pin!!!
Being a Stockdale family was an honor from it's Commissioning to this last day for us. What a fantastic crew of officers and enlisted! I wish for every parent a great experience for your son and daughter. Encourage them whatever their rate, they are an intrigal part of the USN! Fair weather and following seas.
