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."

Okay... Let me start by saying apparently he was not robbed... He went to a concert last summer and got hit in the face with an elbow dislocating his jaw and doing some damage to the bone underneath your eye so he went into a civillian hospital and thats where stuff happened. When he originally emailed me stating that he was a victim of idenity theft I was so worried about him and waited with no resolution. Plus he is on deployment making it far more difficult. Finally after not hearing anything I emailed the omsbudsman to help and reach out to his CO, I got a email from my son saying Mom do not ever contact anyone on his ship ! I was like scolded by my son can you believe it? I was crushed, He equated it to it being like if he contacted my General manager at work for something. All I was doing was trying to help! Anyways he got it that, that's all I was trying to do. He is still waiting on resolution on the hospital deal and has not mentioned anything about it for like two weeks.

Yes I realize he is a big boy and by no means a "Momma's boy" when the info first came out he did not know it was the hospital from over a year ago and he made it seem like it was a big deal and needed help, being that he is on deployment and his resources are limited. It was instictive. True tough lesson and lesson learned.

You know I empathize with you C's Mom. We all do things and learn the tough way. Glad your passed that one. I've contemplated doing the samething for a different circumstance. Good luck with all.
