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."

Vanessa, when i looked up the ship that my grand-daughter is on they were telling about what all they had done during their deployment. They had gotten back to Norfolk in October. But one of the things that they had done was escort the USS Ronald Reagan ship through an area that they had problems with the (cannot remember the name) but where they are trying to hijack the ships. She is on a nuclear fighter ship. They went a tour up the Arabian sea throug the strait of _______ (can't remember the name) but then on up to the Meditarainian Sea. She boarded the ship after her A training which was the end of May. They flew her from on country to another to another till they got to somewhere in Africa and someone else picked her up and took her to board the ship in the sea. I just cannot imagine. She is about 22 or 23 years old. Have 17 grandchildren so it is hard for me to keep up. You can look up the james E Williams Ship and you can find out about some of their activities while deployed etc.

Hi Everyone,
I am new to this site but not new to the Navy. My son graduated boot camp June 2006 and went to NUKE School. He then graduated from NUKE school and is assigned to the USS Georgia at Kings Bay, GA. He has been there since February 08.
I live in Cartersville and work at Kennesaw State University. I would love to chat with others who have family in the Navy from GA. It was quite a coincidance that my son was assigned to the USS Georgia in Kings Bay Georgia and that he was raised in GA.
