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."

Can any of you help. the phone chain for Rob's sub called my dil and said there would be a mail drop on Feb 9th, if course they called her late last night. she asked the caller for the address as Rob never gave her that info and the caller said that sahe could not give it to her as she was using a cell phone. I didn't get a call as we are not at home this weekend so I don't know if someone called. They have only been married since Aug and she is still in MIch here not in GA at the base so she doen't know anyone else to call. Can someone plz help. This is Rob's first trip out and I don't want him to think we don't care or miss him as we do and are just totally upset. I have not been able to connect with any other mom'd=s from the WV either they must be a quiet bunch. Please help!!

Even the sandbox has an ombudsman, and yes ships have ombudsmans. The ombudsmans information is always on the Plan of Day on the ship. He can look at that and find out.

sosume,
Try this link out http://www.hsc2.navy.mil/index.php?id=958&secid=41
On the left hand side, there is a Command Ombudsman, you can click on that, but if you keep scrolling down, there is an address for famlies.
Here is what I found on the page
Upon arrival you are directed to report to the duty office, located at hangar SP-35, Naval Station Norfolk. The quarter deck can be reached at (757)445-5191.
If you or your family members need to forward mail to the command, our mailing address is as follows:
HSC-2
524 A Street
Norfolk, VA 23511-4010
