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."

I just returned from visiting my sailor in Mississippi. While we are not permitted to go anywhere near the shipyard, there is a lovely spot across the river that I stumbled upon. I pulled into a park to make a U-turn and looked up and there she was the USS America! Had a chance to see my sailor for two dinners and it was so reassuring to know they are all doing so well. Hard to leave, but confident knowing he is well.

Hi everyone, I was just accepted to Navy4Moms. My son was a part of the over 900 sailors that took over the USS America on 4/10. Am so proud of him and just after the ceremony he recieved an achievement award for work done in Norfolk prior to moving to San Diego.

My Sailor son is finishing A School in Pensacola in a few weeks before joining the USS America. What an exciting time for all!

My son will be going straight to San Diego to wait for USS America there instead of in Mississippi.

My son will be going to Mississippi sometime this fall after A School in Pensacola. He will be on the USS America.
