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."

My son is assigned to the USS Kentucky and is now in Washington State. It is quite a distance from Chicago, IL!!!! I did visit him in August, and the area is very lovely.

Check with your boat's Ombudsman and make sure he has you signed up as a contact. Some of the subs have private FB groups too. Good luck!

There is a private Facebook group for families who have kids station at Pearl. It is very active and you might have better luck there. It's called Loved Ones of Hawaii Submarine Sailors. There's a form you have to fill out to join. Hope this helps. If you need let me know.

My sailor was stationed to the USS Bremerton in November last year, he's a machinists mate 2nd class. I've received a few emails from him, but nothing for five days now.

My grandson was assigned to the USS Buffalo, a fast attack submarine, stationed in Pearl Harbor. He loves to surf and hang out on beaches (we live in Texas between Houston and Corpus Christi on Matagorda Bay - so have plenty of beaches). He's only been in Oahu since November so I am sure he still has a lot to see there.

There are more recent posts. Go to the last page. I have posted in this discussion myself and only joined N4M in 2009. This discussion can be confusing.
