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."

I don't use this site much, although the files about OPSEC and the Red Cross are useful. I am a member of the Heart of the Ocean -- Submarine Moms face book group. There are several Topeka moms there. Mine is in the same squadron, different boat, although he did a ride along on Topeka last year and earned his Dolphins aboard, so knows many in the crew.

Yeah, long silences. Do you have your Sailor's boat email? You can send short emails, but may or may not get any response, depending on how busy things are on the boat or the availability of a computer for an email. Are you on Facebook? There are a couple of submarine mom groups on there where you might hook up with moms from the same boat. Also, you can get general news of the fleet from the Squadron 15 Facebook page. Anyway, be patient, your son will contact you when he gets into port -- if he gets off the boat. Sometimes they go into port for stores, but your sailor may not get up topside for whatever reason, so he may not call. That's just life. Keep your chin up, Mama!

Glad to find an active site where son's stationed! Looked earlier for subs, but last activity was 4 years ago. Haven't heard anything from him now for many weeks, though it was noted he saw a post several weeks ago. I've heard others talk about the long silences... Now I know more what they meant! Ugh! I know he's in the Lord's hands, so that at least is a comfort.

Glad it wasn’t as bad as it could have been.

Update about the Typhoon Yutip (I have no clue who comes up with the names). It missed us, just lots of wind and rain. It a lot of damage on my end compared to Mangkut.

Diane, I have to agree with the other two moms, if deployed no communication. My son has been deployed a few times. And he has been their since last April. When he doesn’t answer emails I know he is gone. He said he can’t tell me when he is going to leave to or when he will return. Do you have Facebook? If so the base has a fb page. There are often photos posted. I think what’s hard for me is that while he was on a ship previously there was an ombudsman who kept us up to date . I had to ask the fb page administrator if they have one and the answer is yes the base has one!

Hi all, my son started BC this week. I thought I would help here if you have any questions with basically the island how to’s. It’s an interesting set of challenges. We relocated here 3 yrs ago from another military base. We have another typhoon, Yutip (I have no clue where they come up with the names!) gearing to hit this weekend.
