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."

Comment by Mary on September 17, 2013 at 7:04pm: Hello Families of Port Royal
Our son is no longer on the Port Royal he has been assigned to MA School and graduated and now off to his next duty station. Port Royal was a good experience for him. And to the families who have not had a chance to go to Hawaii to see their Sailors you will really enjoy it when you do. So much to see and do.
I wish you all well and God Bless each and all of of our Sailors and their families.
So long for now

Comment by 4everNavy on September 17, 2013 at 6:12pm: Welcome T-Brax, my son is on the USS Port Royal but is currently on deployment on the USS Chosin but will be returning to the USS Port Royal end of November. The USS Port Royal has been good to my son and he has made a lot of friends and enjoys Hawaii, he still misses home of course because he went straight from High School to the Navy and this is his first time away from home and so far away from home which is Vegas. And yes I am still traumatized by him being gone and its been over 1 year already but he is my only child and how dare he grow up and leave me so soon. LOL This is a great site full of information and if you have any question believe me you will find it here if not someone here will find the answers for you. Again Welcome to the USS Port Royal Family.

Comment by Marcy on September 17, 2013 at 10:58am: T-brax my son is not on nor in Hawaii anymore, he was on this ship but I am sure some of the moms will keep you informed on here. Good luck to your son and hope you get to visit him in Hawaii. There is a site for Hawaii as well, if you have not found it yet. That site is wonderful. My son is onto Australia after C school again.

We know he will be so far from his Va. home, but we are so proud of him & he is also proud of himself & his accomplishment's. To see his transformation in 9weeks was awesome!
