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 live up here with my husband. He's on a carrier over in Bremerton, but I'm fairly familiar with the area, especially the Bangor base since I work on it.
If your son has any questions about where to find things or needs something I can help with, just let me know.

My son is stationed in Bangor - he is on the USS Ohio. I'm not familiar with the area, but can get your son connected with mine if he has questions.

That would be great. He got his orders 3 days ago and detaches in 4 days.
I will send you an e-mail.

When does your son graduate from prototype? Mine will graduate on May 10th and is hoping for a west coast placement.

Apparently most orders have been going to the east coast for the last several classes..
As my son described it on the assignment list when the orders were posted, it was:
Georgia, Washington, Georgia, Georgia, Georgia, Washington, Georgia, Georgia ...
As I noted, they waited until 7 days before the estimated graduation date to cut orders for the vast majority of sailors in my son's prototype class.
