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."

Has anyone heard from their Submariner recently? I haven't heard from my son in a while. In his past underways he has sent me e-mails more often. This time he has only sent one so far. But this is his first deployment. I know that the crew is busy doing their job and such. I just don't know if the Submariners have more to do while on deployment, than they would while underway. Does anyone have some insight?

Proudmom,
Could you please tell us what cannot be sent to our Submariners? Thank you for your help. -Rebecca

Hi Ginny,
You should be able to send your son letters via e-mail, though I've found out it usually takes a day or two be for son will get the e-mail. I don't know if the boat can receive regular mail or packages while they are underway. However, I found out they can get mail/package while on deployment. *Oh, if you haven't already you should get in contact with the Ombudsman. She will be able to answer all your questions. Tracie, the Ombudsman, was very helpful for me, and fortunately she is on this site too. If you scroll down this page you will see her information and how to contact her. Her user name here is Proudmom. I hope I helped you a little bit. -Rebecca

Thanks Ladies! Can't wait to go visit my DIL and Grandson next month. We are flying into Providence RI, visiting with them, then driving down the coast to South Carolina for my Step-Son's wedding. Only going to be in CT for 2 or 3 days but it will be so worth it to see them.
