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."

Hey Ladies, any Moms with kids on the USS Michigan?

My son departs Nuke prototype at the end of September and has his orders to the Rhode Island in Kings Bay Georgia.

My son is a Nav/ET on the USS MAINE blue crew.  Are there any Maine mom's out there?

Hey Pat! My son is a MM on USS Maine Blue!  He was originally assigned to gold but then was switched to blue.  Glad to find you!!  He reported to Bangor on Sept 19th.

Hi Navmomtera,  Welcome to the USS Maine.  My son has been on the Maine for 1 year.  What is your son's name?  I would think Ryan has met him.  Please let me know if you have any questions.  We live in Seattle so are close to Bangor.

Has he actually reported to the boat yet or is he still having more schooling?

That is awesome to know!!! Maybe we can connect over phone or email, it's really hard to follow messages on here sometimes. I sent you a friend request on here too. He is done with all his school and is getting ready for his first underway. Just has his quals he is working on.

Hi Mom's, My son is also on the USS Maine, but he is on the gold crew.  He and his wife have been there now for 2 years.

My son was originally assigned to the Gold but when he got there they switched him.

My son Ian will be on the USS TENNESSEE in a week! 

Hello, My son is a MM and is on the Henry M Jackson ~ gold crew. Anyone else HMJ gold crew member?

Good Morning Navy Mom's

My son is on the USS Pasadena, Anytime Anywhere SSN 752.
