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."

Today is my first day as a USS Michigan mom. My son is finishing up ELT training (don't ask me what that is exactly, all I know is it has to do with the chemistry of the power plant) in NY and has been advised he will be on the Michigan. I live here in the Seattle area so he's coming home, for a while anyway. He says he is being forward deployed to Guam - I don't know what that means either! I can see by reading the posts below that I have a lot to learn. Gold/blue crew? What's that? This will be my sailor's first deployment; he is an MM3. Any info will be greatly appreciated!

Hi Barb. I am glad they are back too!!! Homecoming was a little different this time; it was very, very late at night, it was raining, and when the buses rolled in, the guys got off so quick and were gone LOL. I am glad you will see your Son at Christmas. No, this was not his first deployment on the Michigan, he has been here for a couple years. But this is the first time I found a group of Michigan Moms and I am so glad to be in touch with other Moms!!

:). Thanks Barb!
I don't have facebook but I will use the email. If I can't get the dates electronically or by phone, though, I guess I'm in the same position I was in before.:)

Hi there!
My name is Alison and I have a son on the USS Michigan. Got an email from him saying I could contact the ombudsman to find out how when he gets back home -- does anyone here have that information? Thanks!!
