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."

My son is new the USS Abraham Lincoln

Hi! My son just arrived to the ship the 2nd week of March. I wasn't able to get an address to send packages to him before they went underway. Can anyone help me with that? Thanks!

I am not 100% sure this is correct because my son didn't have the address either but this is what I was given. I have sent a test box but have not received word that my son has received it yet.

rate and full name

Thank you! Is your son new as well?

yes, he reported to the Lincoln on March 1. He is an ABF. I am always looking for scraps of news and on St Paddy's day they posted this picture of the Abraham Lincoln. It was pretty cool.

That's so beautiful. Thank you for sharing

My son just finished 3 years on the Lincoln. Underways were only a few weeks and I don't think mail is delivered for underways (I could be wrong but since it's not a deployment I don't think they have mail). I hope your sailor enjoys his time on the Lincoln.

During the last underway they did a replenishment and my son received the package on the ship. I am about to send out another one tomorrow. I will update since this should arrive before the next underway.
