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."

Hi Charla... Thanks for replying. What did Daniel do about getting housing? My son wants to find someone he can room with, so that his housing expenses will be less. Do you have any ideas about how to find someone?

Jackie,
Sorry I have not answered sooner. My son made it to Hawaii the first part of December. He left today to go meet with the sub. He was very excited, of course everything was hush hush and he could not tell us where, what or when.

snj1959,
I know you are excited about your son's new adventure. The crew of the LaJolla is a group of great guys. Have you recieved any information from the ombudsmen? If you have a fecebook account, you can become a member of the La Jolla FRG facebook account. It helps to keep in touch with others going through this "journey" so email me at sra.timmons.gmail.com anytime.

I kept asking my son about the ombusmen but he never gave me the information. He did just call, borrowed a phone from someone, he made it to where ever the sub is and he has time off to go sightseeing. Thank you for the facebook page I have requested to be a member. My email address is: snj1959@sbcglobal.net.

Aloha LeahScottsdale, and I am so happy that I finally see some families of La Jolla crews! :)
Are you planning to come to HI?

Sorry I have not replied sooner..Yes I will be going out there to see the boat come home and to spend some quality time with my son. Do you live there in HI? Can't wait to see HI for my first time and to see the boat that consumes my sons life.

Oh, no need to apologize! :) Yes I'm in HI and I'm really happy for you to come over here for your first time. Because of some reasons, I'm not sure I'll be at the base when their boat is homecoming, but if I'm lucky enough, I'll be there too. But anyway, I wish you have a precious time in Hawaii with your boy! ;)
