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."

Comment by Ashley-PO2 Spouse on September 10, 2012 at 1:58pm: Hello! I'm a prior AC in the Navy. I'm also a current Navy Spouse. I just wanted to say hi, and I'd be happy to answer any questions you guys have about school and the life of an AC.

Comment by towermom on September 10, 2012 at 8:49am: Welcome to the group!! My son is in Lemoore CA and loves being in the Navy. He has now been in the Navy for 1 year and 2 months. I am hoping to get out and see him in November, he came home in July for 9 days. Thank God for cell phones, texting, and skype. Keep the blue candle going!! We have a Navy flag hanging from our house to honor him and all others!! Keep in touch.

Comment by Korysmom8 on September 9, 2012 at 3:39pm: Hi Diane. Thanks for the welcome! I know exactly where Vermilion is as we're from Avon!! We're practically neighbors! My son signed on for 5 years but who knows beyond that. He just turned 18 and is really excited about what The Navy has to offer. I hope he gets shore duty but we have a long way to go before we get to that point.

Comment by Korysmom8 on September 9, 2012 at 3:06pm: Hello all~ new AC mom here. Son just got to Pensacola (PIR 8/31/12) and is still waiting for AC school to begin. Sounds like a really tough program so I'm praying my son is one of the 40% that get through it!! Hoping to hear from some of the veteran AC moms as to where their sailors ended up (duty station.) We're from Ohio and I can't recall any duty stations in the immediate area! THanks~

Comment by SailorMom92 (DIV 244) on August 21, 2012 at 5:18pm: would like to find out if there are any new AC moms (pir 8/10/12) here?

Comment by towermom on August 9, 2012 at 3:49pm: My Lifesong Sings - yes. My son is CA for Air Traffic Controller and loves it. He has been traveling on the weekends to LA, Vegas, San Diego, and a few parks. My parents are on their way now to visit him for the weekend. I can't wait for the pictures!! Enjoy

Comment by SailorMom92 (DIV 244) on July 27, 2012 at 1:55pm: Jacob's mom, has your son graduated yet?

Comment by Theresa's Mom *Ship7 Div161* on July 9, 2012 at 10:36pm: @mareluc I;m going to inbox you And our kids do no each other

Comment by mareluc(Ship11/Div196/PIR 6/29) on July 9, 2012 at 6:53pm: Theresa's Mom - has your daughter had problem with asthma? My son had to get cleared on his childhood asthma BEFORE the navy would even accept him. He went to boot camp with a bad cough and STILL has it. He has been tested 3 or 4 times in boot camp for asthma and the tests were all negative. I don't understand....are they having him sit around and wait for it to turn into asthma. I have bad allergies and I get allergy induced asthma - which I actually have right now along with a sinus infection. I just don't understand why they are holding him and if it is because of his cough why haven't they treated him or explained to him the exact reason why he is in holding. Do you know how many times they will test your daughter before her Waiver is clear? My son has no idea what they are doing with him and so far he has not been retested.

Comment by mareluc(Ship11/Div196/PIR 6/29) on July 9, 2012 at 6:42pm: calbransmommy - thanks for the info. My son is under the impression AC school only starts once every 4 months.
