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 saw on one website that the ships are arriving in the morning - if I hear more specific info I'll let you know - it would be so cool to see on the webcam. Also going to check local TV there.

Anybody going to Port Everglades plz take pics of the ship arriving and post! Any idea what time they will be arriving? There is a webcam you can watch on!

I just checked the weather for tomorrow's arrival, clear and sunny, high 75 degrees. They sure deserve it after docking in cold and rainy New Orleans. Hoping for some great photos of our sailors manning the rails!

That's a wonderful photo! They may be a few years apart but they are obviously brothers. Handsome sailor you've got! Little one looks ready to join, love his 'cover.'

Below is my favorite picture from the entire trip, my 4 year old son and my 20 year old son!
