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."

My son's checking account was wiped out too. Thankfully he didn't have too much in that account. When we contacted Navy Federal, they did cancel the card but wanted power of attorney to do anything else (replace the stolen money). We have been dealing with the ombudsman too (who are great!). He also needed to inform his command and supply them with a copy of the transactions. His next port does not have a navy federal bank or a US base so we were out of luck there. I sent a care package today and included some cash in a card I put in box (hopefully he gets it). Also was told his cash card on the ship should still work as is directly linked to checking account and cancelling card will not affect it. We will see when he needs to use it. So hopefully will receive new card from bank later this week and we will be able to get it to him shortly. so glad we got power of attorney but really sad to know theft may have been from a fellow sailor.
