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 is in Bremerton, WA; USS Nevada. We are from Mid-Michigan, and I agree Puget Sound area and the Olympic Mountains are gorgeous. I visited last winter and can't wait to go back.
Good Luck to your Sailor.

My son, Patrick, is on the USS Cheyenne in Pearl Harbor, HI. He should be coming to the end of his first deployment soon. Then hopefully he gets to come home for a visit. It has been a while since he last surfaced so I haven't heard from him recently :(. Sometimes it is hard being a submariner's mom. I miss him a lot, but more than that I am VERY proud of him!

Our sailor reported to the USS Louisville out of Pearl Harbor at the end of July 2011. He is an EM. Anyone else with a sailor on that boat?

Hi,
We have a ET on the Louisville. He has been on the boat apx 18 months. How is your sailor adjusting? You? Have you found anyone else on the Louisville?

Hi Wendy, We've been hoping to hear from another mom with a sailor on the Louisville. You are the first. Our sailor seems to be adjusting well. The boat seems to be out a lot on short cruises. He is living in the barracks at Pearl when in port, but has hopes to move out and into an apartment sometime in the future. I guess they are both in the engineering department so they must know one another. We hope to visit him there sometime during his tour, but the frequent short cruises seem to make planning like a crap shoot. Have you visited your son? If so any advice? Stay in touch!

Hi again Wendy, Saw in your profile that you are from Albuquerque and were at DNA. Small world our sailor was born in ABQ while we were stationed there (87-90) in, of all places, DNA! I was Army but we loved NM though we settled in Frederick MD about 20 years ago.
