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."

Betsy, I hope by now you found out where to send your sons mail. I asked Chris's GF,she wasn't to sure, but said he probably lives on the barracks not the sub & he will have to give you that address.

Hi Ladies, my husband & I just got back from making settlement in Atlanta GA. He will be back & forth from NJ to there until we actually make the "Big" move the last week of September. Just waiting for our new grandson to be born. The baby is "frank breech" (which means his legs are straight up instead of bent),so on Monday they will schedule a c-section close to her due date. I think it's "great" that some of you rec'd a phone call from your sons chief. I was so happy for all of you. We asked Christopher if we missed a phone call from his chief while we were gone, and he told us not to worry, that we wouldn't be getting one. But that he is very pleased & looking forward to working under the new command. I know it will make for a "great morale" of the boat. :) Betsy, I'm not sure if you need to use the FPO address since he is probably living on the sub. I will try and find out from Chris's GF today, she knows anything & everything about the sub. Colleen, you sound "great"!!!! Good luck with your "bucket" list and keep those High Spirits up that you have!!!! Cath & Betsy, at least you can lean on some of us that were in the dark when they first got deployed. Don't ever hesitate to ask. Mom's are a little left out of the loop, but as we all found out how much the Ombudsman's (other wives of our sailors) were there to answer all of our questions and help us through the deployment of our sons. They were absolutely wonderful and full of the knowledge we all needed to hear. It was great to hear from all of you. Love To You All.

I know there is an address, but I don't know it. The other night Aaron's chief called us to tell us how well Aaron is doing. Did you all get any calls?

Anyone know the best way to send packages to the base? My son said mail has to be sent to the boat and there is a long delay.

A huge and loving Hi to everyone. How have your summers been? I guess now that our boys aren't deployed, we don't have much news to share about them. I have news to share about me, however. I started on Weight Watcher's to lose 30 pounds. I'm that much overweight. It's not so bad, though. The point system makes it simple and I walk every day. I was thinking of starting weight training, too. I've been hiking and to the beach! On my bucket list is seeing a sunset over the ocean. That may happen this summer! Ciao and love you guys.

I am having a great time on my trip. I had a tough time with planes on the way out but made it to DC safely. My friends and I walked all over DC and saw lots of things. Then we visited in WV and VA. I rode the bus down to Columbia, SC and stayed overnight with my cousin and husband. Then they drove me to Charleston. I arrived here yesterday. Today, Bailee and I went to her new work and did some shopping. J suggested we do the ghost tour tonight. I hope everyone is doing fine and enjoying their summer!
