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."

Suzann,
Thier email is HST_OMB_2@HSTRUMAN.NET The carriers always have more than one ombudsman, so they will varify your sailor and put you with the right ombudsman. this is the commands website http://www.truman.navy.mil/index.html

wow some not so good spelling down below. sorry about that,its early here in washington. :D

Robin,
Once your son get to his ship, make sure he gets you the ombudsmans information and the support groups information. that way you will not be so much in the dark, information wise! As for his leave for his sister's wedding, yes the as Suzann stated he has to have the leave in order to get it, BUT since he is going to a ship and it sounds like its deployed, he will not be granted leave for a wedding. Its hard not knowing, we totally understand that. But once you find out what ship he's with and he forgets to get you the above information we can certainl help you out with that information. Here are a couple of good websites for you to look at. www.militaryonesource.com and homefrontonline.com

Karen,
You are welcome and I hope everything works out!

Karen,
You can contact the Fleet and Family Service at:
(301)342-4911
You will need to know which command he is assigned to. Also here is the number to legal:
NLSO North Central
1014 "N" St. SE, Suite 250
Washington Navy Yard, DC
20374-5016
Comm: (202) 685-5580
I would also recommend that your son speak with the base chaplain. These are wonderful people and a great resource. They can do a lot for sailors and their families. That number is (301) 342-3811/3812, this will also give your son another avenue and a chance to talk freely about this situation. The chaplains are highly confidential. I hope this helps you.

Karen,
Your son needs to go to his command and speak with them, plus get base legal involved as well. Those are the first two steps that I would recommend that he do. Legal will be able to advise him in the legalities of getting his wife and child back to the states.

But I can't complain, its gotten us to where my husband is today in the ranking world. So its not a bad thing, but it is a lot of sacrafice on families.
