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 John and Yvonne on March 11, 2018 at 8:55am: LisaPS123,

I'm not sure I can answer your questions, but one of the sailors who comes over to our house on the weekends may know. So, what are your questions and I will ask him. :) Yvonne and John

Comment by LisaPS123 on March 10, 2018 at 8:33pm: Hello! Is anyone out there? My sailor will be arriving in Oceana soon for C School and I have a few questions.

Comment by John and Yvonne on November 2, 2015 at 9:54am: Lorraine and any other moms grandmoms out there.

My husband and I wanted to let you know that we open our home on the weekends and invite any sailors(and sometimes soldiers and marines) to come over. We feed them home cooked meals and play board games, go minigolfing, watch football, and just hang out together and get to know each other. We also invite them to join us on the holidays if they can't go home. We would love to invite your sailor too! My husband spent 20 years in the Navy-10 enlisted and 10 as a Navy Chaplain.

Let us know if you think he would be interested.

Have a great day!

Yvonne and John

Comment by JB'sProudMom on April 20, 2015 at 10:41pm: Anyone have dealings with Tag Auto in Va?

Comment by Holly MA Mom on April 15, 2015 at 12:40pm: Rysmom, most families use the facebook site "Navy Families of Norfolk and Surrounding Areas". I get some emails of comments from this site, but I don't get all of the comments. My son was recently deployed on the USS Theodore Roosevelt (along with many others from Oceana), but he was there for several months and was the dorm manager if there's anything I can help answer for you. I can tell you that Oceana is in the nicest and safest area of any Navy base I've been to so far, if that helps you feel any better.
