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."

Comment by NavyM♥m on March 9, 2021 at 10:29pm: Hello Guam Moms!
My son has been in for 9 years. He will be stationed there for 5 years (or more). I see a trip to Guam in my future & would like any suggestions on planning a trip there. I live in Florida.
Thanks.

Comment by submomIII on February 19, 2021 at 1:03pm: Hello! My son is also on the west coast. We are too, in the same state. He has been in 7 years, and this is the first time we have been on the same coast. While I am happy he is so close, and we can see him occasionally, I really feel for the families who can't. If there is anything I can do for any of your sailors, please feel free to reach out.

Comment by Cath Bubblehead mom on February 19, 2021 at 10:25am: My son is on the west coast with the dry dock ship and he too has little to do. We cannot visit, due to quarantine restrictions and he cannot leave the state. So close, yet still far away. We haven’t seen him in over 2 years.

Comment by Tx Mom of Far Away Nuke on February 19, 2021 at 10:05am: Skooter64 - Hello! My son is also in dry dock on the west coast staying in a condo. If it is the same one as yours, it is quite a nice one with a rooftop "bar" hangout spot with ping pong tables, fire pits, and conversation areas. He bought his first house in Guam and we also haven't had a chance to visit yet.

Comment by Skooter64 on February 19, 2021 at 10:00am: My son just finished his seventh year in the Navy. He relocated to Guam in August. Right now his ship is on the west coast of U.S. in dry dock. He is in a condo with other sailors. He is a MMN2. The photos he sent from Guam were gorgeous, but we haven't been able to travel due to COVID, so we haven't seen him in over a year. The amount of time he has spent in quarantine in the past year added up to quite a lot. I'm glad that now he is with his shipmates and has roommates. I hope to see Guam sometime in the future. Your posts about how beautiful it is match up with the photos our son has sent and posted.

Comment by Laurie on December 27, 2020 at 12:22am: Hi, anyone out there who’s son or daughter is in Guam with little to do right now?

Comment by Regina on September 26, 2020 at 6:52pm: Welcome Laurie,

My son just got stateside, after seven and a half years in Guam, he loved it and hopes to go back. My son married a beautiful local girl. We were able to go three times during his stay and it’s absolutely beautiful, if you get the chance to go you should. If your son likes hiking there are some great hiking trails.

Comment by Tx Mom of Far Away Nuke on September 26, 2020 at 5:20pm: Welcome Laurie. My son has been stationed in Guam. He will need a vehicle there. Their standards on safety for vehicles are quite lax so it is possible to get a "Guam Bomb" for not too much money. I think my son has purchased up to 3 while living there.

My son was on one of the submarines. He could be gone for like 5 months at a time twice a year. The time zone change is miserable. Be prepared for calls at weird times. :)

While in Guam, my son learned to scuba dive and parachute. All things I hated him doing. Guam is a tropical island and has places of great beauty. It is like a discount Hawaii.

My son loves it there and wants us all to move there. Nope. Too close to that crazy guy in North Korea. :) No offense or ill will to any Koreans. I just don't like their leader.

Comment by Laurie on September 26, 2020 at 4:45pm: Hi, we are brand new to the Navy. Our son just finished A-School, and his first assignment is Guam!...exciting, but we are also sad....its really far. We haven't seen him since he left for boot camp because of covid. Tell me all of the wonderful experiences he will have, that will make this easier

Comment by MidwestNavyMom on June 30, 2020 at 1:25pm: I was hoping to take a trip to Guam before our son leaves there but now am thinking that might not be possible due to Covid. :-( The beaches look wonderful!!
