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."

Please click OPTION, then edit and change your grandson's name to Seaman Dylan K. For his protection, we don't use last names on this site. Find out where (what port) he is now and join the group in that area or join the group for families with sailors who are MAs (Master At Arms)

Please keep in mind your grandson is an adult (over 18), the Navy can not tell you how he is except in emergency cases (death of parent, wife, child). It's up to him to communicate with his family.
Young people sometimes don't realize how hard it is for family not to hear from them. A phone (even if it is short), an email, a letter, a package, skype, smokesignal - anything. You have to let it be. Perhaps his parents got to know some of the other sailors' families from boot camp. If his parents are acquainted with others stationed where he is ...
Can you think of a reason why he may not want to be in touch? Sometimes, a young person simply wants to be free from his family for a spell - to grow up or to leave issues behind. We knew the commander for recruiting in our district. I was shocked when he informed me that many of the recruits really want to be left alone and want to do this on their own. Doesn't mean it will be forever, just right now. Let's pray he'll get in touch with his family (they almost always do) and he and your will establish some lines of communications.

Unless it is an emergency there is no one can contact to see if they are ok. As was said they are adults now, it is up to them if they want to call anyone or not.

There are several mothers to whom i have suggested to "confirm their charge is ok" ... text them "Marco". More times than not, they respond with "Polo". At least we know they are alive & texting if they respond. Pretty sure i learned that from an IL Navy mom!! I'm also pretty sure it has worked for EVERY mom that has tried it.
