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 Denise!! The ship's web site is www.gravely.navy.mil . They have some contact information there like the address to send mail to your sailor, and some phone numbers to the ship. You may want to click on the tab labeled "OMBUDSMAN's Corner", to get the command Ombudsman's contact information. You can send her an e-mail with your contact information, and she can add you to her contact list. She also has a facebook page set up that you can send a friend request to. It should come up as Gravely Ombudsman.

Hi Ruth!! The best information on the commissioning is on the commissioning website. There is a link for it on the ship's website. I'm not sure how you would look for Navy moms on facebook other than looking for a group by that name on there.

Hi Blyswmn. We will be going to the commissioning, too. If you haven't made your hotel reservations yet, you might want to look into the hotels that are offering us discounted rates. I think they are listed on the commissioning web page, but your sailor may also be able to get you a list.
