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 Proud AO Mom on March 31, 2011 at 2:47pm: @m's His squadron is Vfa-106. I'm sure he's going to love it. He's already talking about learning how to surf and buying a boat. It's only a 23 hour drive from Oklahoma, LOL. No matter which coast he was assigned to, it was still about the same distance.

Comment by m'smom on March 31, 2011 at 2:30pm: Welcome Holly-from what Cindy has told us Oceana is great. Her son checked in there from P'cola last week and mine is due there next week, on the 5th or 6th. We will share as much as we know. Not a whole lot of chatter here. But I check daily. Will have more info next week once son is there. What squadron is your son assigned too?

Comment by Proud AO Mom on March 31, 2011 at 12:13pm: Hi there. My son has left Pensacola and will be arriving in Oceana on April 8th. He's an AO and is assigned to shore duty. Any inside information from someone who's already experienced the move to VA will be greatly appreciated.

Comment by m'smom on March 30, 2011 at 10:26am: We are outside of Pittsburgh so about 8 hrs. Still better than P'cola. Kris is about half way between so we think she will be getting alot of visits from both ends! lol

Comment by m'smom on March 30, 2011 at 9:44am: Cindy,

Thanks for the link. 36000!!! WOW!! I would never have guessed it was that large!!

One more week with M home. Then he will be in Oceana.

Comment by CeeCee on March 29, 2011 at 5:14pm: Sweet article Cindy!! GO NAVY FOR MOMS!!! :-))

Comment by CeeCee on March 29, 2011 at 5:10pm: Cindy, yes, it's me!! Thanks for the welcome!!

Comment by CeeCee on March 28, 2011 at 6:39pm: Hello everyone, just found this group. My son is at NAS Oceana. Soon to be deployed this spring sometime.

Comment by m'smom on March 23, 2011 at 1:18pm: I will pass that word to M. I told him about you and your son and promised to get son's full name and squadron from you before he leaves. He has found that my connections on N4M's can be helpful. He is excited about doing something different. I will pm you his full name.

Comment by m'smom on March 22, 2011 at 10:36pm: Cindy- M is due at Oceana on the 6th. Not sure if he has classes. He thought it was more on the job training. Guess we will know more in 2 weeks. Hope you had a good visit with Paul.
