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 m'smom on March 21, 2011 at 11:20am: Lala Ribbon Queen is right this group is very quiet.

Does anyone know anything about VR-56? That is the squadron my son has been assigned to. He has heard that they are getting new planes and so are grounded. Not sure if this is true or not. Anyone know anything?

Thanks

Comment by m'smom on March 18, 2011 at 11:18am: Thanks Cindy-This maybe confirmed for M too. He told his sister last night the plane is being rehabed (sp). Have to ask some questions about that when we talk next.

Comment by m'smom on March 17, 2011 at 11:03am: Ok newbie here ...What is TAD?

AWF VR-56 Globemasters.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on March 17, 2011 at 9:18am: Are there any AO moms here with a sailor attached to the VFA-37 Ragin' Bulls? My daughter is with this squadron. She is doing the required TAD right now but is looking forward to getting back to her regular job with the Bulls.

Comment by m'smom on March 14, 2011 at 1:02pm: M's class finishes up next Tuesday (the 22nd). He is driving home with a friend from WV. We live outside of Pittsburgh. He is due in Oceana on the 6th of April so he will have about 2 weeks at home. I am not sure about his leave and how much he will have left after (if any). M is AW, Aircrew doing something with electronics. I am hoping to find out more about it when he is home. He hasn't wanted to talk too much about it while he is there. I will remind him about the working with the recruiter.

Comment by m'smom on March 11, 2011 at 2:10pm: Cindy-I take it your son got some leave time before he had to report to Oceana? My son is still at Pensacola, just found out he will be going to Oceana this morning. He is to report on April 11th. If anyone has any information about them getting leave between please let me know.

Comment by Lex on March 10, 2011 at 9:26am: idk what his rate is lol but he suppose to be there by april 2 but we will be there march 28
