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."

Gigi, I think my son said they were going to take on mail in the next couple of days. I told him to let me know if he does get mail because there are a few things that haven't made it to him either.

Hi all Stockdale Moms! If you live in the GR area of Michigan, we are going to have a lunch get together sometime in Feb. Let me know if anyone is interested.

Happy New Year to all the Stockdale Families!!! Thanks to all who have shared pictures of the ship and the Christmas dinner. It's hard to believe they are 1/2 way around the world. We will celebrate Christmas with our Sailor when he comes home, complete with tree decorated in red, white & blue lights. Our daughter kept his tradition alive by watching The Christmas Story (starting no earlier than 11pm), eating Krispie Kreme doughnuts and drinking Canada Dry Ginger Ale on Christmas Eve. He emailed us that he was excited to hear she was doing it. Be safe everyone!!

Thanks indyrules for your wonderful "comments" that you have given me. I am really taken aback by how all of this is affecting me. I'm usually a pretty strong person and I know what my son's career intales. I am so glad to be "anchored" to a group like this.

Hi Everyone,
This has been a rough emotional weekend for me. Today marked 2 months ago that I lost my Dad and I am really missing my son, Rich. This is the first Christmas without him (he was able to come home last Christmas) and in Feb., his second birthday without him. I hope they have a tree, a church service, and a nice Christmas dinner on board the ship. I will miss seeing him do his "Christmas Eve thing". Watch "The Christmas Story" in the Christmas Story t-shirt, eating Crispy Creme doughnuts and drinking Canada Dry Ginger Ale-alone. He did this at midnight. Our daughter, Elyse, is going to pick up the tradition. She misses him so much. She just turned 18. She sat on Santa's lap last week and when he asked her what she wanted for Christmas, she said she wanted him to bring Rich home for Christmas (sniff). Thanks for all of you being so open with how you feel. It makes me feel better just to talk about it. I hope you all have a wonderful start to your week and a very Blessed Christmas!

Hi Everyone!
My son is on the Stockdale. He is very excited about his first deployment. I miss him like crazy. I haven't seen him since Jan 3. I hope to be out there to see the ship come in. Our daughter is graduating in June, so it's gonna be tight. We are going to celebrate Christmas in June (?) when he gets to come home. I've joined a quilting club at church and I've made him a "Navy" quilt. It's the first thing I've ever sown. I can't wait to give it to him. I'm so glad that there is this group out there. God Bless all of you and our Sailors!
