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."

Hang in there Jennifer. My son was in the same boat. Got to Groton early Jan this year and reported to his boat this week. It should move quick once you get there.

My son Derek finished his schooling in Dec. and has been out in the Toledo five times already. This is his first long deployment. Scary. He didn't get an international cell phone. Hopefully he'll buy a phone card at his first port. I believe he thought he could call his phone service and add international service. I hope we all hear from our loved ones soon. It's going to be a long deployment. I miss him so much already.

Hi, my son Aaron just went out on his first deployment on the USS Louisiana. I am nervous since he has never even been on a sub before except on the docked sub at Patriot's Point. When can I expect to hear from him and how? He is stationed out of WA. It will be nice to talk to mom's in the same situation. Anyone else have someone out on the Louisiana?

My son is on the USS Nebraska in Banger Wa. only one year of service under his belt as a ET Nav. Can't wait to go see the area. ROAD TRIP!

Shelby, my son is on the same sub! He is on the Gold crew. He just got there in March and has already been out once. I'm planning to go see him later this summer; I love the Seattle area and I'll be glad to escape the heat of the South for a few days!

Lisbeth, I'm so glad someone else has contacted me with a loved one on the same sub. My boy is on the blue crew. So he is opposite your boy. But we still need to plan a trip. I've never been out west.What part of the south are you from?

My son just received his orders and will be a Nuk EM on the USS Seawolf. Any other proud parents who have sailors on this sub who can offer any advice?
