OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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."

Hello everyone, just joined this group today. Our Son Timothy is an EM3 "nuke" Electricans Mate onboard the USS Seawolf based in bremerton, WA. We went out to visit him last summer shortly after he joined the boat however we never got to see him as he was underway the entire time we were there. The boat is currently on a deployment so we will be in Washington when they return.

OMG, my son has been at the submarine school in Groton. He is almost finished with school. He was really thinking he could come home early in March. Then he calls me this week to tell me he will NOT get leave and he is going to be in Bangar, WA. He told me that his sub is already deployed and he will have to wait at least 6 mos before he can go out. So why cant he come home for a little while. Also, I think I recall posts about how as parents or spouses we will need to get in touch with a liason to keep us aware of what is going on with our sailors??
The sub he is going to be on is USS Nebraska the Gold crew.
Does anybody have anybody have a word for me??
Sincerely,
Lee -

hi everyone!
i hope everyone had a good day.i haven't heard anything from my daughter, but yet my soon to be ex- son- law sends me email on how much he loves my daughter. This is very awkward.
I have been really tired a lot.
My insulin is being changed as my a1c is 456.
Well.. I am glad this group is here, as I know it is very hard not hear from our sons during the time they are out to sea.

My son is Jason, recently detached from the USS Albuquerque due an injury. He has been on subs for 10 out of his 13 years in the Navy, 3 years shore duty. He has been in King's Bay, San Diego, Washington DC, and currently is in Groton. He is a CS1, and hopes to remain in the navy, if his injury allows(incured while on the boat), but probably not on subs:( He has been on both boomers and fast attacks, and was always proud to serve the silent service.

Kaye,
My son has been on the boomer Wyoming - blue. Stationed at Kings Bay, Georgia. He's been there for a litttle over 3 years. He'll be out in January, 2010.
You didn't mention the answer - "I can't tell you"
When are you leaving? - "I can't tell you"
When will you be back? - "I can't tell you"
Where are you going? - "I can't tell you"
I have learned to be very patient, not to dwell on him being out to sea, rejoice when he is back on dry land, and pray everyday. They are brave men and I hope they never have to do their jobs. -
