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."

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on October 27, 2015 at 11:40am: LindaGirl, I did contact my son's ombudsman and she emailed me that I HAVE to be put on the list by my son only. I can not just put myself on there. I have reminded him several times and he has so far forgotten.

Comment by LindaGirl on October 27, 2015 at 3:06am: Angier, I was able to find what I posted earlier in the year for you to be able to be put on the contact list by the ombudsman of your sons sub. Go to the Website, "ombudsmanregistry.org", you should be able to find your sons sub & write to the ombudsman yourself, introducing yourself & have her put you on her contact list. When you get to that site, follow the steps below:
1. Click on, "Contact Your Ombudsman"
2. Click on the part of the map where your son is
Serving.
3. Under "Regions", click which region. (Hawaii,
Only has one region).
4. Scroll under, "Commands" until you find your
Sons sub listed.
5. Press, "Contact", & start your e-mail to your
sons ombudsman.

Good Luck & I hope this helps!

Comment by angier on October 26, 2015 at 9:44pm: Hi! My son is on the USS California. His father and I are divorced he did not put me on the list to receive any e-mails, or letters so I would like to know if anyone can tell me how to go about contacting the commanding officers to let them know that my son has a Mother that is very interested in him and wants to get the same information as his father? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Angie

CO-twin: I left my phone # on your comment wall. If you would like to chat before I leave for Hawaii, usually I am available, I am two hrs later than you.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on October 22, 2015 at 8:59pm: Yes leave time does go way too fast.

I did get my sub sailor for 3 whole weeks though when he was relocating to Hawaii. That was great.

Here is a shellback photo from my other sailors day.

Comment by mrsb on October 22, 2015 at 6:27pm: tina41, so glad you had a nice visit with son and wife! Seems like the time goes so slow waiting to see them and then flies so quickly while they are home, then gone again in a flash. Not fair!!
