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 Janie (Ship11~Div.59 Alumni) on August 3, 2012 at 11:35am: Beth I get into JAX @ 10:30am but was told to go to the USO that they may have some sort of shuttle provided if we show paperwork that we are on the tc. to get us over to base. I am not sure and have emailed the ombudsman but have not heard back from them. Does anybody have information to share with all of us concerning any of this?

Comment by Kim (Ethan's Mom) on August 3, 2012 at 9:25am: Linda, I just sent you a text for Teresa.

Comment by Beth on August 3, 2012 at 8:37am: KUNavy.... I'll keep an eye out for ya!
I'm landing in JAX Saturday about 11:55am. Is anyone else going to be at the airport around then? If so, and you are also traveling alone, let me know maybe we can share a taxi or shuttle to the Quality and then possibly find our way through the mass of people @Mayport to find our sailors!!!

Comment by Janie (Ship11~Div.59 Alumni) on August 3, 2012 at 8:28am: I too am at the Quality Inn in Mayport but won't be checking in until Saturday when I have my precious sailor with me. lol I won't have a purple ribbon but it won't be hard to spot me with my red hair. Cool Mom I think you and I are never going to sleep we are both wired up to much. lol Since you are getting there first, keep the light on for us!

Comment by Kim (Ethan's Mom) on August 3, 2012 at 8:03am: I wish I could help Linda :(
I know nothing about any of them. There are several that posted different hotels but you'd have to go back several pages and read where. Sorry! Are you getting to go?

Comment by Cool Mom on August 3, 2012 at 5:59am: Hey all - its 5 am at the St. Louis airport & I'm anxiously awaiting my flight. I'm walking for some exercise because I'm still wired - THEY'RE COMING HOME!!!! - so when I sit, I'll get caught up on the messages. Please text me at 217-257-5587 with any details for today &/ or tonight for dinner. I am there!!! Oh & I couldn't find a purple ribbon, so, I have a purple headband on my wrist with my Navy lanyard on!!!! Is anyone else going through St. Louis or Chicago this morn?

Comment by Mrs. David's mom on August 3, 2012 at 5:15am: KUNavy; It was The Pointer Sisters that sang "I'm so excited..."

Comment by countrywoods on August 3, 2012 at 12:17am: by early I mean Friday
