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."

I heard from my son yesterday, I just wish the connection would have been better. I can't wait to see him again.

I would like to attend the night before party. Can anyone tell me if I should bring a covered dish or something. I've never been to one before.

Thank you very much

Hi- welcome to the group!

To get the official information for homecoming you will have to email truxtunfrg@gmail.com. It can't be posted on a public forum like this for security reasons. Hope you are able to attend homecoming!

I haven't gotten an invite for my sons homecoming. When should I expect to get it?

Has everyone seen the Tiger Cruise information on the FRG and Ombudsman page? Only a few more days before the deadline if anyone was interested- more detailed info is on the facebook pages.

Yes!  I heard about the swimming fun also!
Comment by reignbowtopia on October 26, 2011 at 11:30pm
Thanks everyone.  He finally did send me a message this morning.  I sent him messages anyways just to make me feel better.  He said they got to have a swim call which he really enjoyed.  Jumping into the ocean from the flight deck would scare me, but swimming in the ocean would be fun.  All have a good night.

No FB messages or posts from my son the last few days, but got one today!  He said they didn't have internet and have been super busy.  I know I start to get a little panicky when I don't see a post or get a message.  Hang in there and check Facebook!  If there isn't a message, send him one (that's what I did).

I've heard the internet has been in and out, and that everyone is pretty busy with all sorts of different tasks.
