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."

Annie, he should have an address on the ship. I sent international phone cards to my son. I get them at Walgreen's when they are on sale Buy 1 Get 1. I've sent candy (ones that won't melt), stamps, ramon noodles, playing cards, puzzle books, munchie stuff, cookies, jerky, hometown newspapers. Send mail as often as you would like.

Deployments are longer is bc of cutbacks. Fewer ships in the fleet; less manpower (women too, of course). Troops in every branch are stressed to the limit.

I got a response from her, and she is going to relay this to his commanding officer. Whew! I hope it works out that he is ok without the passport, and hopefully find the one lost. Now that it is getting closer to the time they leave, I wish I could be out there to see him off. I am in Colorado. His girlfriend is there though, so that will help. He is my baby of four and I still sometimes have a hard time letting go even though I should because he is a man. I will miss him, and hope to hear from him..I asked the ombudsman if there was like a guideline that we can go by on what to do or not to do, send or not send, basic stuff to know. If anybody can shed light on this for me that would be great! This seems to be an awful long deploy of 10 months..I remember my other kids were only like 6 months.

Hi Annie - I've been doing some digging. The only address I could come up with is: stockdaleombudsman@yahoo.com
I'm not sure if this is current. I haven't gotten anything from the ombudsman in a long time. I used to get information on a regular basis, but maybe that was when they were on deployment the last time. Let us know if this address works.

well monday is the day they deploy,,,this will be my sons 6th deployment and his first on stockdale..it will be a long deploy..
this comment goes to loriP (below) don't ever pay the extra to get something shipped out express mail its a waste of money. the navy will get it to them eventually. you are paying for it to get to the spot in the US quickly not the ocean..sometimes it takes 3weeks to a month or more to get to your child..
