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."

Lowering of Flag Ceremony Every Evening At Dusk & history of the Base

It's well worth taking the time to see the Flag Lowering Ceremony!

THE BUILDING OF LEMOORE NAS

In 1954, the Navy searched the Northern California-Nevada area for land to build a master jet air station - one with congestion free air space.

Lemoore was chosen because of its central location, good weather for flying, relatively inexpensive land and the nearby accommodations. Construction started in 1958. With base housing, administration facilities and the flight training areas in operation, the air station was commissioned on July 8, 1961.

Located in the San Joaquin Valley approximately 40 miles south of Fresno, CA, nearly 5,000 military and 1,000 civilian employees work onboard, with an average payroll of $120 million per year.

NAS Lemoore's primary mission is to support fleet carrier squadrons. The heart of this mission is the operations area. Designed to support more than twenty fleet squadrons, it serves as a master training center for carrier-based strike fighter squadrons of the United States Pacific Fleet.

In case I have computer trouble again this weekend, I want to wish all you Mothers a very happy and Blessed Mother's Day. May you all know how blessed you are with your kids.

Comment by becky m on May 6, 2009 at 8:49pm: Thanks, for the support and info!! Welcome Carol!! Where has your son been and how long has he been in the Navy???

Comment by carol on May 4, 2009 at 4:15pm: Becky, just stay as proud of your son as you are. They always do a better job when they know love, support and encouragement are behind them. (That does sound like my teacher talk, doesn't it). I have just joined this group, because my son in now in Lemoore (since March, actually). He is in the Black Aces and is an AO. My home computer is acting up (my poor husband gets all my frustration comments), so if I don't come back tonight, that is why. Hope to get to know you ladies soon.
