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."

offroute.mom - if no one responds to your post here try sending a message to the group (it will go to their email and maybe someone who isn't on here daily will get the email and respond).
Look in the upper right hand corner and you'll see the "Send Message to Group" link.
Good luck - I hope you get a response. (Sometimes it just takes a few posts to get a group going again.)

So my hubby just got on the USS Kidd, actually I'm not sure if he's even on the ship yet! I'm not sure of anything except that my babies and I miss him sooo incredibly much! How long will it take for him to get settled in? When and how soon can I expect to hear from him!

Hi Martisu, so glad you heard from your son and all is well. Not sure if your son had his bday yet or if it is coming up but happy birthday to your son!! That's great that he got one of your packages. Hopefully the others will arrive soon. My son has not yet received the package I sent but I just mailed another. Hi KJ's Mom!! Thanks for the info about the packages. I agree, xmas package will need to go out early. Loved seeing the photos on facebook. Looks like they have been busy but glad they got to have a steel beach picnic! Hope all the Kidd families and sailors are doing well. My daughter's bday is tomorrow, 21! Wow, does time go by fast...hopefully for our sailors too :)
