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."

Son Nick is an MM on the USS Columbia in Pearl Harbor, HI. Believe he goes out for his first "voyage" sometime in the next week. He seems very excited. He got to Hawaii May 3rd. Can hardly wait to go visit.

@Nick's Mom, You are getting very close to OPSEC violation. You need to delete and use "SOON"!!
My sailor LOVED Hawaii too.

NicksMom - My son is also on the Columbia - he is a ET Nuke. He loves it in Hawaii! Hope your son does too! I am saving up to go visit - hopefully we can work out a time that works for both of us!

amandaERMEY, Congratulations on your upcoming move to Hawaii. Have you gotten any emails since this deployment? We got one on the 25th, but nothing since. Yes, my son said that the crew is great. He has not been able to work on his dolphins yet because he is so new that he is still trying to check into the boat. I went to the FRG on Facebook, but can become part of it until my son gives them all our info. He emailed us that the OB of the boat should contact us at some point as soon as she gets our information. Thanks for your email.
