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."

Sharon, don't know where you are flying from. In March we were able to fly Kelcie from Narita to Sacramento for 900.00. If Southwest services your area, you might want to check on getting out from Sac, it's a small airport and doesn't make changing planes hard at all. Plus Southwest is usually a lot cheaper than others.

Mama Nonie.....funny isn't it, how things that used to "bug" us seem minor when we don't have easy access to them.

I agree. I missed my sons call on Mothers Day because of being sick. Then they left.
Blondie,
Did your daughter go out on the Carrier Qual? Didn't she just go to Japan?
-

They have not deployed yet. I should have clarified. When they deploy they are out 6 months or more. They are on Carrier Qualifications. They should be back to their home port soon. My son's is .....@cvn73.navy.mil

I got a email from my son on Sunday morning when I woke up. And he said they are only allowed to access email and send email via their shipboard email. The navy.mil email address. If you don't have it make sure you get it before they deploy.

Hi Nonie, you do know that the sailors don't have access to Facebook while they are out to sea right? Gotta use their "navy.mil" email address to communicate with them. I'm not on facebook nearly as much now that they are out to sea, but check my regular e-mail at least twice a day.

Blondie...that indeed was an AWESOME post by the chaplin. Thanks so much for sharing it.

Yeah, my daughter got some grief for hers also. Finally she was allowed to put it on the "back wall" of her "coffin". I had it sent here to our house, as I ordered it before I had an address, so I got to check it out. They are really nice, and VERY well made. My daughter loves hers!!
