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."

Thanks candy-oh! for your response. The commissioning takes place in Gulfport, Miss. The sub is being built in Groton. My son is finishing prototype in Ballston Spa, and will then go to Groton for Suboc prior. He basically said the same thing to me last week, it will be crazy. I just thought he meant he wouldn't be able to spend time with me, but nevertheless, I will do what is recommended. I don't believe your husband in building this one, as the name doesn't sound familiar from the Wikipedia site.

My son is in Pearl Harbor and is a Nuke but is on the USS Bremerton. I wonder if your son, DJ'SMOM, and my son possibly know each other.
