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."

Lorraine, mine is in Ohau at Pearl Harbor. I will check out the video too. THanks for sharing it. This is my sons first deployment as well. He was stationed in West Virginia for his first 2 yrs. Only been in HI for a year now. This is his first time with a ship as well. Will you plan a trip to HI to see him? We are next summer in June. I cannot wait. It is going to hopefully be a family trip. Me, hubby,and our 4 kids. See we have 4 between the 2 of us and I have the 2 boys and he has a daughter from previous marriages and then we have a daughter, Mia,(Mya) together. They are ages from 22, 19,soon to be 20, and 18 and then our 8 yr old. So we are not empty nesters YET. We still have 10 yrs to go, LOL. Hope you had a great weekend. It rained a lot here this weekend.

We have a large auditorium that we use for movies as well as memorial services and other large gatherings. > > As is the custom at all military bases, we stood to attention when The National Anthem began before the main feature. > All was going well until three-quarters of the way through The National Anthem, the music stopped. > > Now, what would happen if this occurred with 1,000 18-to-22-year-olds back in the States? I imagine that there would be hoots, catcalls, laughter, a few rude comments, and everyone would sit down and yell for the movie to begin. Of course, that is only if they had stood for The National Anthem in the first place. > > Here in Iraq 1,000 soldiers continued to stand at attention, eyes fixed forward. The music started again, and the soldiers continued to quietly stand at attention. Once again though the the music stopped. What would you expect 1,000 soldiers standing at attention to do?? Frankly, I expected some laughter and everyone would eventually sit down and wait for the movie to start. > > No!!. . . You could have heard a pin drop while every soldier continued to stand at attention. > > Suddenly, there was a lone voice from the front of the auditorium, then a dozen voices and soon the room was filled with the voices of a thousand soldiers finishing where the recording left off: > "And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, > gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. > Oh, say, does that Star Spangled Banner yet wave, > o'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave." > > It was the most inspiring moment I have had in Iraq and I wanted you to know what kind of U.S. Soldiers are serving you! Remember them as they fight for us! > > Pass this along as a reminder to others to be ever in prayer for all our soldiers serving us here at home and abroad. Many have already paid the ultimate price. > > Written by Chaplain Jim Higgins, in Iraq

Marcy, when you post a comment in a discussion/blog or in another group informing the members about this group, include the link to this group. You can copy and paste either of the ones below.
http://www.navyformoms.com/group/uss-port-royal
The top line is a string of text with the link attached. The second line is the link itself (ie. the internet address).
Normally, I open two windows - one of this group, then I use the second window to browse the N4M site to see if there are members I can reach out to. Good luck.

Welcome everyone.
Lorraine this is actually a new site I just started last week. I had some mothers asking why didn't the Port Royal have a site and so here it is. Welcome and we will be happy to hear all about your sailor.
MJ, welcome as well. It was nice to receive your pm today as well. Hope those fires are not in your path. If they are stay safe.

Hello everyone, My son is on the Port Royal on his first deployment.
He started BC this past November..did A school in Florida and as soon as he was done was stationed to Hawaii to the Port Royal. I hear from him here and there through emails. Thank goodness it helps a bunch to hear from him...as you all can understand.
Have a great Labor day.
