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."

I have not been on this website for awhile. My oldest daughter joined the Navy about two years ago. She is doing well in her chosen career and absolutely loves it. Now her baby sister is somewhat following in her footsteps. But Big sister is stationed in the USA. Little sister will eventually be stationed on an Aircraft Carrier is what we were told. Right now she is still in high school, and things could change, but this worried Navy Mom is wondering what life is like on a ship or Aircraft carrier because I know it will be different from being on land. Thanks for any information.

When Sailors are deployed the only contact is through email. Your Sailor needs to email you first. This clears you to be able to send emails there after. Sometimes Sailors can call home using the ships phone.
