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."

Hello Ginger! I live in Lodi and my son is on the USS TOLEDO stationed in Groton, CT. I grew up in the Sacramento area and would love to know other sub moms in the area. I say nothing and don't speculate. He doesn't all much when he's in port and texts infrequently. I pray a lot, and love him from a far. Let me know when you're having a lunch in Sacramento and perhaps I could come up an meet some of you. x0x0 mom stew

Hi, My son was on the Jackson out of Bremerton WA but has just transferred from a boomer to a fast attack out of San Diego.

My son is just going to the Jackson, are their other Jackson Moms out there. He was stationed for three years in San Diego on shore duty, we loved it there and really hated to see him go back to Bangor , I think they miss San Diego as well, hope he loves it there. Gaileann

Gaileann,
So far James is really happy with the USS Hampton. The only thing that he doesn't like is that his wife, Megan, who is an ensign on the USS Rushmore has been out a lot and will be shipping out for around 10 or so months. But he really loves the sunshine in San Diego plus he has aunts and uncles in the area. He really liked the Jackson and wished he could have stayed there. But his wife just got commissioned and was headed to San Diego so he got a transfer to be in the same vicinity when they are actually not deployed. -

Son is a nuke on the Toledo stationed at Groton, CT! Miss him, but am SO proud of him! He has been in for 8 years. The Navy has been so good to him. He was able to go to UT @ Austin and finish his degree as a EE before being assigned to the Toledo.
