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."

Hi roberts_mom, Welcome to Molly's Adopt A Sailor! For more information, go to Molly's group page and on the right side just below members pictures, click on "New Moms Read First". If you have questions, please don't hesitate to send me a message.
As I'm sure you know, July adoption is the FIRST time we have ever been allowed to adopt a Sub. For just this month, we will be doing a few things differently. New information has just been posted on page and shipping address will be posted soon in "MAS We Ship Love."
Thanks for joining us and hope to talk to you soon! Pat
Hi "robert's mom," and welcome to the USS Alabama! I'm the administrator for the group, so if you have any questions, please ask. My son is a Nuke MM serving on the Blue crew. He's been in for 5 years this autumn.
How fortunate that you're in Anaheim... you're within (a LONG) driving distance! We're in Indianapolis, so our visits to Bremerton are few and far between :-( But, we acquired a lovely daughter-in-law last November, so she keeps us in touch :-)
Be sure to make a "howdy" post, so the other 'Bama moms will speak up and get to know you. Jump in with any questions or comments you may have. I think you'll find we're a nice bunch of folks and always willing to lend an ear to listen or a shoulder to cry on. Hugs! k.
