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 was supposed to ride on the La Jolla for a mission this month but it got cancelled. Christmas came early as that allowed him to come home to WA for a week and he will now be at home in Hawaii for the baby's first Christmas!

Thanks Jackie
My son won't be joining the boat unless another mission comes up and they need a CTI group on board. I hope your son and crew have a great holiday! -

Hi everyone! My son, Kyle, will be joining the crew of the USS La Jolla in February. He graduates as an FT in two weeks and he (and I) are very excited that he will be going to Hawaii. I look forward to learning from everyone as we start this new adventure!

Welcome BoomerSoonerMomma. I'm excited your sailor will be joining the La Jolla crew.My son has been with the La Jolla for a 1.5 years and has been on one deployment already and several underways. This sub is very active, as I'm sure most subs are, so your son will be very busy once he gets to Hawaii.
If you have specific questions, please let me know.

Blessings to you! I will be joining the Facebook group as soon as my son is actually in Hawaii.
