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 Alaska Blue!

My son will go on shore duty after the next trip out, so is there anyone who would like to take this site over?  I haven't  been that good in managing this page, and it could use someone who is more knowledgeable with computers.  Please just let me know.  I will keep the site until late January.  Thanks!!!!!

I am trying to find a way to reach my son. He is on the USS Alaska, blue crew. He is a CS and lives off base in a house with two other guys from the blue crew. I think they are also CS. Can anyone help me?

I am trying to get in touch with my son. He let his cell phone get disconnected and now I cannot reach him. It is no an emergency, I just wanted to check on him and see when he was shipping out.

HOw do I know if my son is on Blue or Gold crew?
Comment by DeniseR on July 25, 2011 at 10:10pm
I had a wonderful visit with my son who is home right now.  I didn't get to see any of the other sailors because we were so busy with the family.
Comment by DeniseR on July 13, 2011 at 2:34pm

Dear Ladies,

 

It has been awhile since I have been on, but wanted to say that I am going to visit my son at Kings Bay next week.  If I see any of your guys, I'll tell them hello.

Comment by DeniseR on April 21, 2011 at 10:06am
Hi Lin, How did Winston like his first trip out?  I bet he has plenty to tell you.  My son said it was a good trip.  Hope you have a Happy Easter!
Comment by DeniseR on April 20, 2011 at 5:58pm

Welcome Megan!!  Do you know which crew he will be with- Blue or Gold?  

 

We are happy to have you with us!  Have a Happy Easter.

Comment by DeniseR on February 8, 2011 at 10:47am

Welcome to the Alaska Moms'.  We are happy to have you on board!  If you check the Community Guidelines for the Navy site, you will be okay.  We never discuss deployment dates or any information that could endanger our guys.

 

Is your son with the Blue or Gold Crew?  My son is with the Blue Crew and is now out to sea.
