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."

Is anyone available to PM and answer a question for me? I don't want to post it on here b/c I am newer and not sure if it is OPEC friendly :) Just joined the group! Thanks!

Pat L,
Thank you for posting the Truxtun pictures. It made me so happy to send those packages. My daughter and I are stock piling items for your next adoption. Carolyn

I just got the address for the Truxtun, but am confused whether FPO goes at the end of the second line or belongs on the third line with AE. Can someone clarify? Thanks!

My son, Adam, left last night to join your loved ones on the Truxtun. His first deployment. I thought sending him off to BC was hard... What kind of communication can I expect to have with him while he is gone?
