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 a question, my son just got sent to the USS Theodore was there on the 12th, how do I get his address or to write or maybe even send a package to him? does he have to give me that information, and how do you go about mailing it to them. Very New to this first time deployment for him right out of A school. It is very hard even hearing from him to be able to get an address. Any comments would help thank You.

You will have to get his address from him. He can give you his box number. Some different groups also have different zip codes.
Do you have his email yet? If so, send him a message and request it.
When you do get his address, I can help you with information on sending a care package!
