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."

Noni,
Re: "I feel like I don't even know her anymore."
I feel that way too, sometimes. I suppose such young accomplished people let time get away from them!
Comment by M's mom on January 19, 2016 at 11:24pm

Anna,  I am also jealous of your travelling lifestyle!  (Especially winters in Fla.--I'm a Midwesterner too.)  Hubby and I travel quite a bit when we can, but I'll be working for several more years, so not ready to be full-time vagabonds yet.  I've been to Bar Harbor, Maine.  You'll love it.  The people are so friendly!  Go to a "lobstah" boil.  Acadia Nat'l Park is beautiful in the fall. (Also off-season, so less crowded.)  Safe travels!

Did your daughter finally get her NFO wings?

Anna,

I'm so jealous!! We used to have a 32 ft pull behind. Just sold it this year. With the kids gone we didn't need a bunk house. We will be looking of a driver in the next couple of years. This Christmas was really hard. The girl was home for 10 day. Then the day she was to fly out her flight was cancelled due to the ice storm. That gave me 7 more days with her. When she left I had a really had time. No more extended stays. These hello and goodbyes just keep getting harder. For spring break we were going to visit her in Cali but they are getting ready for RIMPAC so we wouldn't see her. Looking to visit a friend in SC

Noni,

My husband and I are full time RVrs and live in our 5th wheel RV.  We left Wisconsin a year ago December and spent all of 2015 traveling the western US going to every major National Park.  We then headed to Virginia to visit the sailor son before he and his family transferred to Hawaii.  From there we made our way to Florida to winter over.  Won't do winters anymore where it's freezing and snowy!!!!!!!!  As soon as the north gets into spring we'll travel the east coast this year and head up to Bar Harbor, Maine.

Hi Jakes Mom,

When did your son get to San Diego? He is stationed at 32 Avenue?
Comment by Noni on January 19, 2016 at 10:16pm
1after909,
Not a officer I know lives on base. My daughter doesn't talk much either. I feel like I don't even know her anymore.

Anna,
I started to say January has been horribly cold. Below zero days the past few weeks.
Comment by Noni on January 19, 2016 at 10:10pm
Anna,

When did you leave for Fl.? The winter has been seasonably warm. January

Anna
Life is cold up here in Chicago!
My son lives off base. Maybe because guys are different, he doesn't tell us a lot--at all! I honestly, I don't know which base in Jacksonville!
Comment by Jake's Mom on January 19, 2016 at 9:49pm

Hi all - My son is stationed in San Diego on an LCS crew.

Comment by Anna on January 18, 2016 at 11:42pm

1after909,

I'm living in Jacksonville for the winter.  Which base is your son at?  My daughter is an NFO also but is stationed in Oklahoma.

Noni,

How is life up there in the Chicago area?!?!  I have to admit I don't miss being there this winter!!!!
