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."

Hi ctownnavymom, My sailor is stationed in Pearl Harbor too. He's an MM2 assigned to a sub, U.S.S. Bremerton.
I know he and some other guys are looking to move off base and move into a house.He was hoping for the move to happen this weekend, but that isn't happening because 'something came up.'

Hello all,
My sailor is stationed in Groton, CT & will be going on the USS Springfield this summer. He will graduate from A school May 25th. He is a MM/Fireman's Apprentice if I have it right-still confused by all the Navy lingo-lol. Is there a group just for Moms of the USS Springfield? I've been looking but can't find one. God bless all our sons & daughters & all the military! GO NAVY!

Thanks for the kind words Pat - you're pretty special too! Popeye's Mom I'll send you a friend request. I've recently found a couple of others on here who have a son on the Springfield, but haven't heard back from them. Maybe we can finally get enough people to start a group. You're right, no one has started a Springfield group yet.
