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."

I thought all the family members had shipped out too Annie!  Reid says the deployment is January. He will be rotating off the ship by then and on to Monterey DLI.  They are all pretty stressed now with so much testing of every system.

Husband says they are going out a few more times before they leave the middle of June for rimpac. They were out all week this week on the water somewhere. Due back this afternoon. They should be at rimpac mid June through august then not sure from there. He came home one day saying he would not be coming back from rimpac for ten months because they would deploy directly afterwards then he said deployment in January... but this was only his second week and no one else knows anything either..... :)

How is everybody doing?  Haven't seen any activity!  I think they are getting ready to go to their destination soon? Any word?  I love to see more activity happening on facebook as well! My son is really enjoying it, however he OC Spray last week and he said that it was worse that gas chamber during bootcamp!  I cannot wait to be able to go out to San Diego to see him, the ship, and the bay!  I love it!

Awesome pictures! Congrats to your son aatimom, you should be a proud mom.

What were they getting awards for?

Comment by aatlmom on April 9, 2012 at 11:51am

If you go on the USS Stockdale face book page today, there was an award ceremony and lots of pics!  My son is the last picture! 

Comment by Reid's Ma on April 9, 2012 at 11:45am

Last eve. my son said 3 mos. for manuvers. It takes a week to get there; a week to ret. to homeport. Good news ChipsAhoy, is that new Daddy will probably--most likely get leave after. Last deployment the newbies to the ship stood watch while the deployed got leave. That's fair.    

Comment by Annie on April 5, 2012 at 11:10am

I didn't know what that meant either. I haven't heard anything yet of the time frame either.

its the rim of the Pacific islands

Comment by aatlmom on April 4, 2012 at 9:15pm

What's rimpac?  I don't know much of the logo. 

Comment by Reid's Ma on April 4, 2012 at 7:15pm

I tt Reid last eve. He was dead tired working 12 hr. days getting ready for rimpac. Pretty sure he said that's 6 weeks out. Anyone confirm?
