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."

Our son is on the Truman also. You have to get your loved one to put you in contact with an Ombudsman. They will email you all updates on the ship. They might be 3 - 5 days late but you get updated.

It's like the first day of kindergarten all over. You know they have what it takes to succeed, but as moms we know they are out of instant contact and someone else is in control. We made it then and we will make it now. My new mantra is " Everyday brings them one day closer to coming back".

My daughter is on Truman as well. I added the carrier on my facebook and was able to see the pics from their departure day.

I've gotten great advice from these sites for care packages. They include Beef jerky, individual microwaveable nonperishables, all in one detergent pods, and packaged granola and cookies. Also don't forget family photos, local newspaper clippings, anything from home.
