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."

USS Minnesota currently at sea trials, not commissioned yet. Commissioning is Sept 7 in Norfolk. Can anyone fill me in on a typical schedule of activities for the commissioning of a new sub?

My son is also on the USS Alabama Gold Crew out of Bangor, WA. He is an MM3. It was so good to have him close to home! (He has been on the East Coast the last 2 years.) He would come home on the weekends. We live about 160 miles from there. I miss not being able to have communication with him daily....But am VERY PROUD of HIM!

Good Morning! My son is assigned to the PCU North Dakota. Are there any other moms here with sons on this boat? I have been part of this group for quite awhile, but just haven't checked in. Would love to meet you!

My son just finished A school for MM. He came home for 12 days, left Thurs for Hawaii. He will be on the USS Buffalo. It was so good to see him. Probably few and far between now.
