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."

Hello
We look forward to hearing about your sailors journey. How he/she likes being an MAA (MA) and which kind of job they are doing and how you are doing knowing what your sailor does for a living.
NOTE: Please help keep our sailors safe. Don't give out exact locations.Example: If he/she is in Iraq you can say Iraq but I would not say the name of the camp or a town near the camp. If they are on a ship don't give the last known location. Although some of that is public we don't in anyway want to jeopardize them.

Comment by Tabitha on January 5, 2010 at 5:37pm: Matt finally got a flight out of Dallas! He is boarding now-he said some of them are stuck there until 8pm :( I should hear from him in the next few hours!! GOOD LUCK to all of our new "A" schoolers! LOL

Comment by Tabitha on January 5, 2010 at 1:18pm: Janice:Matt is stuck in Dallas airport-they have canceled the flights to SA! It sucks...he hasn't called back to let me know if they will spending the night there or if they are able to get on another flight?! I wish he would've been on the first flight out! Yea, he called me @ 5:15am...but I loved talking to him!

Comment by Tabitha on January 5, 2010 at 1:03am: Janice: Matt is stoked to get outta "that hole" too!! LOL He is supposed to call me once he gets to the airport! It'll be an early call - said he should arrive in SA around noon!! Can't wait to get this next phase done = ) I want my man back!!

Comment by Tabitha on January 4, 2010 at 11:49pm: Janice-I have no idea...all he told me was he is leaving base @ 2am!!

Comment by janieflorida on January 4, 2010 at 8:55pm: Kelly is the original Travis Airforce Base and yes it is officer quarters and is about 5 minutes away. Nice place.

Comment by janieflorida on January 4, 2010 at 4:13pm: I stayed at the Kelly Inn on the base. It was fine, clean,spacious and with a kitchen. It was $30 for the night. Put your reservations in early as they have PIR for the airforce as well and the base gets crowded.

Comment by Tabitha on January 4, 2010 at 11:40am: Hey Janice!!! Matt is also headed to SA tomorrow! WOOHOO a familiar face :) We can get through this together again! LOL

Comment by janieflorida on January 3, 2010 at 8:30pm: Stephen took his phone with him to San Antonio. No problem.
