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."

I asked him that, and he told me that he would live in a shack on the beach...

Haha! My response to them would be, "That sounds like fun! Where will you live? And we'd love it if you'll come for Sunday dinner together!"

Lol, what is it with these boy? My son wants to be a BEACH BUM too....

Yvonne: What are N.'s plans after Navy? It'll be wonderful to enjoy a "normal" life with him nearby. We'll definitely stay in touch, I know... hugs to you.
Suzanne: I have a hunch, but can't post that here. Your sailor will be briefed when he arrives. Make sure he puts you on his "Page 2," the form that lists next of kin AND that he gives your name to the Ombudsman. That way, you can be informed of departures and arrivals.

Thanks for the info Kaye S! When do you think that the Gold crew will leave for their cruise?
-

Yvonne, I think the term is "short cycle..." but, I get your meaning. So, just one more and he's out for good?!

Thanks, Kendrasue! I'm flying to Seattle on April 18, the due date of my first grandbaby!!! I'll either greet a brand new baby or be there for the delivery! I'm staying THREE WEEKS; husband and daughter are joining me for the final week. I can't wait!

No, the Gold hasn't left yet. When a sub returns to port, everyone gets off for two weeks' leave, EXCEPT the Nukes... in this case, the Blue nukes stay for 2-3 weeks with the Gold nukes coming on to "hand over" the boat (going through all the nuclear systems for repairs and signing off from one crew to the other). After the "Goldies" take ownership of the boat, the Blue nukes will get their leave period. I'm sure your son will be on the next cruise!

Does this mean that the GOLD crew just went out?

What crew just came back?
