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 kander on November 21, 2012 at 8:42am: My daughter graduates A school Dec 3rd and has orders for NAS Oceana. She has been trying to get some info on her C school but hasn't had any luck. She is also and AO. She still doesn't know if she gets leave right before going to her duty station or if it will be Christmas leave. Anyone that has any info it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Comment by spring932 on November 13, 2012 at 1:30pm: Hello all.... my daughter was in Pensacola since April, had a 2 week leave at home and now in Oceana for C school and her duty station. Looking forward to making new friends :)

Comment by aj2daway on November 10, 2012 at 12:08am: I mean share information, not a room, :0

Comment by aj2daway on November 9, 2012 at 11:28pm: would anyone be willing to share any hotels in the area that would be a nice and reasonable place to stay while near the base? We are thinking of visiting our sailor over the Thanksgiving holiday.

From previous history, i know that these groups are an excellent resource.

Comment by Adie on October 22, 2012 at 2:29pm: Hubby is with VFA-106. That's awesome that she found a job. I'm having a hard time finding anything right now :(

Comment by monkeymind on October 22, 2012 at 1:50pm: Adie what squadron is your husband with? My son is with VFA-34 and he works nights. His girlfriend is moving down in 9 weeks and I'm sure will be looking to meet people. She found a job and they signed for their apartment last week.

Comment by Adie on October 22, 2012 at 12:38pm: Hello, hello! My husband and I just moved here in June. I still haven't met any other wives, and I'm not sure if there is a FRG or anything with my husbands Squadron. And my husband got assigned night shifts too. Wheee!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 15, 2012 at 5:23pm: jennyj, if he is attached to a squadron that is attached to a ship then i would expect him to go with the squadron wherever they go. My daughter is an AOAN with the VFA 37 squadron welcome to the group. It is a pretty quiet group though. Feel free to send me a friend request if you have any questions.

Comment by jennnyj on October 5, 2012 at 7:45pm: My husband just got orders to Oceana! He is an MA so I guess he will be guarding the planes with the squadron he got assigned. Is anyone familiar with what an MA would do? If they go on the deployments with the squadron? Thanks!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on September 30, 2012 at 8:47am: It is super quiet here, I really wish more people were on this page and it was active. I would love to find other moms in the VA Beach area. Maybe we could even have lunch or something when I come to see my Sailor again.
