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."

I was not aware of this. How sad; I'll be praying for this sailor. Does he/she have other family? Maybe we could send this sailor cards or Navy Moms could adopt him.

From the USS R. REAGAN MOMS, here is information for the sailor whose family was killed:
"For flowers –
Jody's Flowers 903-667-4321 or
Bunn’s Flowers and Gifts at 903-856-2691
Address to send cards and condolences –
Sean Reynolds, 397 C.R. 4114, Pittsburg, TX 75686
The funeral plans are for Sunday. He is doing well and his buddies are sticking close to him. He is no longer assigned to the Reagan. He has been given a new assignment that will allow him to stay close to home for a while. Thank you for your continued support through prayers and thoughts."

I think it is awesome that the Navy is reassigning him closer to home now. Never thought anything like that would be possible. Hard to imagine what he is going through right now.

I'm sending a card to, and some $ - I have no idea if there is a financial need, but funeral costs are always shocking, and I'm thinking that any little bit extra will help.
I do wish there was a way that we can keep track of him, because after the initial shock wears off, and we all send our initial cards, what happens a few months from now? Christmas? Birthdays? Mother's Day and Father's Day? It would be great if we could continue to remember him - really "adopt" him as one of our boys. I'm just not sure how that works in real life.

That is a great idea kendrasue! Wondering if he has any other family!

I had the same thought. It would be great to keep in contact with this young sailor. Like you said, Christmas, birthdays, etc. Great idea. Doable??

Maybe Kaye can make a "page" so his contact information stays front and center?
Or Kaye - maybe the next time you talk to the Uncle (maybe after the shock starts to wear off), you could ask him to join N4M and post us updates occasionally?
(And btw, thank you Kaye for being a point of contact here, you've made it much easier for us to send our support).
