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."

If you don't have a number, I would try leaving a message on your boat's site here and see if someone can forward a msg for you. But, I think, if your son didn't sign the needed forms you won't get info. Plus info about departures and returns can only be communicated in person or by snail mail... Due to security. I pretty much never know when my son goes or returns since I live so far away.

My Sailor Boy serves aboard the USS Buffalo.
It's been two long years since we've seen him, but are so proud of him and all our Military and the sacrifices they and their families make to protect all of us.

My son Matt is on the Dallas he is stationed in CT. I am fortunate as he is able to come home when ever he has leave. We live a couple of hours away. I can also go see him on his day off and if I am off. He will be leaving soon and I will not be able to see him for a long time. I already miss him. I am also very proud of him and his commitment to serve his country.
