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."

My son, Drew, is a "Nuke" and a MM3 (Machinist's Mate) aboard the USS ALABAMA in Bangor, WA. He joined the crew in April, 2008. Gimme a shout if you're an ALABAMA parent... Roll Tide!

My son, Jared is now on the USS ALABAMA MT1 (Missile Tech) and has been assigned as the Fire Control supervisor. He has taken his Officers exam and passed, now in process of getting all the necessary schooling set up......He was stationed on the USS GEORGIA-729 until it went into conversation.

My son has been on subs 11 years. He spent most of his time on the Jackson in WA. Now he is on the USS Georgia. He just went out on this boat for the first time cruise sence the Return to service ceremony in March. We went down to Georgia to see it. He went from Boomers to Guided Missile. He is also a MT. Nice to hear from other moms of other sub men. My son was so proud when he earned the Order of the Ditch and the Imperium Neptum Regis(shellback).

Jared has been in the Sub Force since 2000-His 1st Sub was USS Georgia-Blue Team. He left that sub for shore duty when they sent it in for conversion from SSBN to SSGN. He is being trained to be able to work between the SSBN's & the SSGN's. These guys really have a lot to be so proud of, they work really hard and the Navy spends so much on their training.....

Hey, I was just in Bangor visiting our son "Bama". I saw "Nuke" briefly. It's nice to put a mom's name with a sailor's face. He and "Bama" work closely together. Have a blessed day.

My son is a MM on the USS ALABAMA Blue Crew. His name is Nick Zela.
Roll Tide! -

Too coincidental? I have a son named Andy (they call HIM Drew ) on the Alaabama and he's a MM3

My son Chris will finish missile tech school next week in Kings Bay and then join the Alabama in WA. I'm so proud of him but a little sad as we live in NC. Any info on what he can expect from the boat and the area would be appreciated.

My son, Chet, is stationed in Bangor, WA. getting ready for his first deployment as a Fire Control Tech aboard the USS Nevada.

My son, Adam Davis, just left the USS Nevada. He was stationed at Bangor for the last 3 years and saw the Nevada through it's overhaul. It's a good crew on that sub. Adam is now on his way to Washington, DC, for 3 years of land duty. I hope your son enjoys his time at Bangor. That area of Washington is beautiful.
