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, Jonathan, is a third class petty officer MMAFR (Machinist Mate Fireman Recruit) aboard the USS Washington. He joined the crew last year. Any other moms have a son who serves on the USS Washington?

4Maineboys, I am assuming you are from Maine? I have 3 boys, all in the military, but only one in the Navy. He is assigned to the USS Indiana in Groton CT.

MaineGrammy,
I am! We have four boys one in the Navy. He was in Groton for sub school for one year which was nice. So much closer than Guam!
Are you in Maine? How long has he been there?

No at the moment. We live in MA, but plan to retire in Maine. Hubby is from Rumford. We have lived in Rumford, S. Paris, Searsport, New Harbor, Presque Isle and Wayne. (Hubby is a pastor, so we move around a bit!)
Where are you located?
Yes, Groton is much closer than Guam. With our son and his family in Groton, we are only 2 hours away!

We live in Biddeford and we have a camp in Mt. Chase.

My Alex is aboard Chicago, out of Hawaii. He's headed for Groton next month. It's his 2nd enlistment so they gave him shore duty. He says the jokes on him, after 5 years in the tropics, Guam/Hawaii, he's headed for New England in March. He got winter clothes for Christmas.
