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."

USS Jason Dunham DDG 109 Families

Hi,

I am new to this site. However, I heard there are a lot of families for the USS Jason Dunham on here. I am the new Treasurer for the FRG. We are up and running! We currently have a few fundraisers going on for the Dunham families. Please contact me if you are interested or part of the Dunham family.

Thank you,

Rebecca

Rebecca, the link above is for the Navy For Moms group. If your FRG group is on Facebook, I would recommend making the group a secret group, not just a closed group. Since Facebook uses real names, it's extra protection. My son's FRG group on FB for his sub was a secret group. Members were added after the ombudsmen verified the contact info.

Comment by BunkerQB on October 8, 2014 at 12:39pm: You should join above group.

Comment by MrsSwo on October 8, 2014 at 12:40pm: We are secret. And we verify members. Thanks!

Comment by BunkerQB on October 8, 2014 at 12:49pm: GREAT GOING. I bought the blanket with my son's boat logo on it. Love it. It was a popular fundraiser. The FRG group for my son's boat was very active and the gals got together often. They were in HI and we are in CA - it was great to see the photos of the welcoming signs made for homecoming. The packing parties. Comments from the CO. Good luck.
