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."

Moms, if any of you could please PM regarding homecoming I would appreciate it. We live in Central Florida and would like to make plans to attend.
Thanks ~ Karla

Thanks for the warm welcomes everyone. My Nassau sailor is an ABH3, I'm not sure what he will be doing on the Nassau, he is still going through all of his indocs. On the GW he was originally in the air dept and then transferred into the DC dept. My other sailor aboard the Kauffman is an EMFA.
I will totally have to agree with Roxann by the way. My first husband (my sailors' father) and I were both in the Navy (yes, that's MY bootcamp pic ) and yes it is definitely different being a Navy Mom.

Hi, My name is Karla and I am a proud Navy Mom of 2 sailor boys, both who will be stationed in Norfolk. My oldest just reenlisted and received orders to report to the Nassau the last week of May after coming off the George Washington for 4 years. The GW changed their homeport to Japan 2 years ago so I am VERY excited about having my sailors "close" to home now. My second son just finished his C school in Great Lakes and is now on his way to the Kauffman, to start his Navy career.

I answered my own question, gotta love it. I hope you enjoy your time with your son's and daughters.

What is this Tiger Cruise? My son is on the Nassau and I haven't heard anything about this except for you. Is it because my son is a Marine?
