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."

SO nice to hear from you and SO glad your sailor found a better fit for him. He is on the USS Alabama. That was the first sub that Molly's Adopt A Sailor was allowed to adopt last July! My son is on the USS Pasadena currently in drydock in New Hampshire.

Hey, there is a packing party on Jan. 14 at the Villa Park VFW from 10AM to 1PM. Would love to have you join us. It would be so nice to meet you in person and introduce you to some other Navy Moms! Happy New Year! Pat

Hi, "dmab," and welcome to the USS ALABAMA group! I'm the administrator for the gang, so if you have any questions, please ask. My son is a Nuke MM serving on the Blue crew, which is crusing right now. He's been in for five years.

Jump in with any questions or comments you may have. I think you'll find we're a nice bunch of folks and always willing to lend an ear to listen or a shoulder to cry on. Hugs! k.

They are in an intense orientation before A school begins.. You won't be able to see him for awhile. It was about mid A school when he earned weekend leave I was able to go down.

My son will graduate A school this Friday with honors. Suggestions STUDY and seek out mentors if needed. My son is blessed in that he already has a Mechanical Engineering degree. He helped mentor as much as he could. The first couple weeks in A school they are pretty hard on them and then start easing up as their grades come in. He will do fine. Thomas loves it. If he can have him seek out Thomas Byrd. If he is there he will help him out.
