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."

When things get back to normal, if you happen to get downtown Norfolk, my son's fiancee got a job at Joe's Crab Shack there. She's keeping busy taking college classes, too, while he's deployed.

Hi Proudkmom-Scary for your son. Mine finally called this am and the ship has been out of cell range. He is doing great and told me not to worry so much (as if that will happen). I think your son will be on leave soon so I hope your visit is wonderful. We still need to try and plan our coffee date before summer is over (it is going quick!). Take care!

Hi rmwijcpa, my son is there at Little Creek. He said the storms have been bad and lightening even hit the tarmac he works with the hovercrafts. But there haven't been any major problems there for them. It's just really hot and miserable. Hope your son is doing well. Kathy

Ruth-thanks so much - that makes me feel a ton better!

My son's fiance it's there and reporting no weather problems. I'd guess your son is out and everything is fine.

Hi All, I have not heard from my son in about 4 days - he is new to the area (arrived on the 23rd). I am a little nervous with all the storm reports on the East Coast right now. I am not familiar with the area at all but it looks like Little Creek may be in the storm area (?) Anyone have any updates? It would ease my mind some to hear if all is okay in the area. Also, he is assigned to the USS Carter Hall - maybe they are back out but had to dock for a water problem in the middle of last week. He is not responding to my text messages. Thanks.

Sesalle-thank you for the information. Do you know which company he needs to buy a modem/router with? He has one with Clear but they do not cover Little Creek. Thanks.

If anyone in this group lives within driving distance to New Port Richey FL (surrounding areas include Holiday, St Petersburg, Clearwater etc I will be there on vacation and I am going to have a get-together for all of my navy Mom friends who would like to join us on Wednesday afternoon/evening. I will have goodies/food and we can all sit around (or in if you prefer) the pool and just have a fun time getting to know each other and talking about our recruits and Sailors. If anyone is in that area and would like to join us please send me an email and let me know. My hubby will be away on a fishing trip and we were gonna do it Monday because he wants to be there but that is our 1st wedding anniversary <3 So, I would love to have you join me and others and you will get to meet my Sailor as well :-) The date is Wednesday June 27th. If you would like to meet but that afternoon or evening isn't good for you let me know and we will set up a another time while I am there :-) I am so excited to meet some of my navy Mom friends!!! My email is uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com

Proudkmom-Glad he gets to come home soon! Our son will be arriving on Saturday (the 23rd). Maybe they will meet :).

rmwicpa-Our son is coming home in a couple weeks. He hasn't been able to come home since Christmas. We are so looking forward to seeing him. He has been helping the new guys arriving at LIttle Creek. He sometimes picks them up from the Norfolk airport. When is your son scheduled to arrive at Little Creek?
