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."

Whenever I send a box I always send enough for all of the Sailors, I pack that Lrg. Flat Rate box as full as I can get it LOL, my mom always sends a holiday box usually filled with candy for them all. My daughter says her friends are always asking when her Gma is going to send a box LOL!!

Thanks Anq..Mo'zMom for letting me know I'm not alone in my anxiety. I hate feeling this way.

Blondie thats an awsome idea. Everytime I ask my son if he needs something he tells me he doesn't need anything.

Blondie, on the news they are saying due to radiation "fears" and on the GW facebook page they have posted that they have left the base for local waters.
Blondie, rumors are abound about many ships right now, I heard that rumor too as well as they are heading to Seattle and San Diego BUT until the Navy tells us otherwise --- their facebook page is saying...local Japan waters.
Have not heard anything about the Cowpens or the Fitz, it seems if they moved some of the ships -- they would move them all but have not heard about your specifics ships.
