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."

JCS Facebook page

Down in this discussion somewhere there is a link someone provided for me to the Family Readiness Group on Facebook. That would be a good one to link to also!

Comment by Cathy_ProudNavyMom on October 31, 2011 at 8:26am: Hi momofcurtis, I heard that we should watch the JCS Facebook page for updates. They posted a note about the cruise and said more to follow. Also, the JCS group here on navyformoms.com has a very active discussion going about the cruise among other things.

Comment by Oneofalot on October 26, 2011 at 4:06pm: Undesignated airman it not a bad thing. That is want my daughter went in as. They just can't get passed E3 until they get a designation. She finely picked one and took the test last week. Still waiting to see if she passed.

Comment by heard t on October 26, 2011 at 4:03pm: Is Undesignated a bad thing.

Comment by heard t on October 26, 2011 at 4:02pm: Thank you so much Rod. Im hoping she will will enjoy the Stennis and Washington

Comment by Rod on October 26, 2011 at 2:35pm: Beach Detachment is a group of Stennis personnel that are in Bremerton to accept those coming to the Stennis while she is deployed. Sandbox is Arabian Sea/Persian Gulf. Undesignated airman would just be assigned to the the Air Department and could be assigned to one of many aivation divisions which include Flight Deck (V-1), Hangar Bay (V-3), Arresting Gear (V-2) which could be on the Flight Deck or below deck in the arresting gear room), Fueling (V-4), Ordinance (V-5), V6, and V7.
