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 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 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!
