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 there a time frame to sign up for "sign on" bonus. Don't think my son thought he could get it when he signed up. He's out at sea right now and talks of only wearing the "coveralls" something he had to buy several pairs of to replace messed up ones he did have b4 deployement.

My son/snipe is onboard the USS Comstock an LSD. I believe that since that carries Marines and their amphib craft I might qualify for this group? My question is..It is my understanding that this ship and others "convoy" together when they are deployed. Is there a way to find out which other ships are with this ship as I'd love to talk to other "moms" of that convoy when they deploy early 2009. thanks.
