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, Chris, is a MM3 on the USS Houston out of Guam. It is hard to believe that he has now been on the Houston for an entire year. They have recently been in Hawaii, but will be soon be heading back to Guam.

Tracy, my son Michael was on the USS Houston....in fact he went from Guam to Hawaii on the sub, flew back to Guam to check out of the base, then went on leave (came home to see me), after that went back to Hawaii for a week, checked off of the sub and is now stationed in Australia. I will have to ask my son if he knows your son (I'm sure he does since he was on the Houston for a year)...what a small world.

My son is on the USS Albuquerque, currently stationed in Groton, CT, but moving to San Diego, CA at the end of his next 6 month mission. I wold be interested in hearing from other moms who have a son stationed in San Diego - or even better a mom whose son is on the USS Albuquerque. I am so proud of my son and his achievements. I know it hard for these guys and they can never tell us what they do or where they go. Aren't they a blessing to us all!?

My son Alex is stationed aboard the USS Miami in Groton, CT. He is an ET. I haven't heard from him since he returned to Groton after being home for New Years. While he was home he applied for a passport. He will need it when they deploy in a few months. I've been sending him e-mails and leaving phone messages, but so far he hasn't called. I have no idea whether to send it to his off base address or his FPO address. I don't want to put it into the mail until he knows that its on its way. I've sent him packages before and he never got them. Of course, they were food packages and those don't ever seem to get to him.
