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."

BTW, you can ALWAYS find me over at "Sub Moms," 'cuz I'm Admin over there, too!

Ahoy, Bama moms! I must give up the Admin duties here, because my son is now with another boat. He left the Bama in Jan, 2013. Please let me know if you'll take over...it's not hard - - - especially with this little activity! :-) Hugs, k.

Speaking of schedules...
One of you here in ALABAMA-World needs to become the Admin for this group. Sadly, my sailor is detaching from 731 on December 10 and moving to Ballston Spa, to become an instructor at prototype there (shore duty + a 13-hr drive away = Double Yay!).
So, don't be shy; speak up... there's no work involved - just read the posts, delete something that shouldn't be here (departure dates, etc.), and help folks find the info they're looking for. I've loved getting to know ALL of you and will drop in from time to time, just to see what's going on :-) Hugs, k.

My son is on the Gold crew. He got to Washington 2 weeks ago. I have another question. He wants his car at the base. What happens to the car when he goes out to sea? Is there a storage facility he can put the car in during that time? His dad and I are torn on this issue and not sure if it is a good idea.

Boomer schedule info is never unclassified. Sorry. Blue crew and gold crew are the names each of the two separate crews go by. Which crew has your son been assigned to?
-

Thanks Pen - sorry I haven't been on lately been really busy. What is the difference between Blue and Gold crews. My son will be arriving in WA on 5/21. I would like some information on when they float and how long they are gone. Any information would be helpful.

Hello, my daughter received an email from my son early this morning. It was very short and said that they have been very busy. Hope this helps alleviate some of the worry.

Pen... how wonderful! I'm jealous, jealous, jealous. Be sure to take lots of family photos with the whole gang there. Do you have grandkids, too? And be sure to have the BenGay on hand, 'cuz I know you'll get cramps from all that hugging!
