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."

On the Topeka stationed in Guam.  Does not appear to be a lot of communication from the sailors below :)

My sailor is a MT/E4 on the HMJACKSON in Bangor, Washington. So excited he is back on the west coast and looking forward to visiting him soon. The hardest times are waiting for his emails but one of the happiest times when I get one! Love my lil munchkin and so proud of him and his hard work!
My son is on the USS Buffalo stationed in Hawaii currently deployed. Has anyone heard from their sailor in the past 2 weeks?

My son Steven is on the USS Tennessee 734 blue crew. He is at Kings Bay, GA and he is now on his first deployment. Even though I am very nervous, I know he is doing what he likes the most; serving our country! We are all so proud of him and just pray to God each and every day to bring him back home safe and to watch over him and the entire crew. We all have freedom because they are brave! I love you son very much!

USS Olympia 

My son is on the Scranton. They went from NH to CT and are doing tests before heading to San Diego

My son is abord the USS Providence. In NH. Newbie. Navigation. 

My son will be on the USS COLUMBIA! Out of Pearl Harbor. He is leaving this Sunday for Hawaii. He just graduated from A-school as a STS.

My son is an MT assigned to the RI, but right now he's out with the Alaska

The Rhody?? That was my husbands first boat :) he got off back in March of last year, I miss that boat

My son calls it the Rhody too. :)

He's been happy with the crew he's worked with but was looking forward to getting underway and starting work on those fish :)

That's great motivation to have :) We so miss the boomer way of life lol he is now on a fast attack lol. The crew has all changed since my husband was on, most are now on shore duty but there are still a few that are still attached to her :)
