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."

My son, Ryan, is an EM on the Sea Wolf out of Seattle, WA. They are currently in port getting ready for a West Pac run (supposed to leave Dec. 3rd.) We are very excited because Ryan is due home for 1 week this Wed. Can't wait to see him!

Very sweetly and gently let me remind you to please NOT discuss dates for ship/sub movements... that's sensitive info which evil people might use to hurt our boys... hugs, Kaye S.

My son, Lee, is a Electronic Tech. serving on the USS Georgia in Kings Bay, Ga. He joined the Navy as senior in high school 2005. I am sad today, it is his birthday and they left today for who knows where. He loves his job and is very happy. We are from Texas, just North of Dallas. Everyone have a great day!

Dear Janice, we just moved to Indianapolis from Arlington, TX. I'm a 5th generation Ft. Worth girl... where are you? And yup, those deployments are bummers, but that's what we get for raising boys to be brave and independent ;-)

Janice, there are times it is difficult to stay focused on supporting their choices, eh? Brad did the same thing, DEP just as soon as he turned 17 he could hardly wait. Our family has a long Navy history and I am SO proud that he has made the choices he has. He loves what he is doing, just got his qualifications while temporarily assigned to the USS Boise out of Virginia. Hopefully his boat, the USS New Mexico, will start testing shortly after the first of the year. He will get to requalify but is very proud that his group, MM's, was the first on the boat to have all memebers qualified.
I am morth of you by a couple of hours in NE Oklahoma. I hope Lee continues to enjoy what he is doing.

My son, David, is on the USS Georgia. They just left today, and this is his first time. He will be gone until the week of Thanksgiving, he should be back sometime that week.
However, when they get to normal routine after holidays, he did say that he will be out for 3 months and on land for 5. I noticed the line above that said three months for boomers! What does not mean?
Thanks,
Kathymarie -

The boomers go out and under for 3 months. We don't know where they are and communication is difficult. My son's sub: The USS Nebraska.
