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."

Hi everyone, I'm the co-admin of this group. My son is stationed at JAX but I live in California so I can't really give much information on the local scene. I can always ask my son or daughter-in-law a question. Those who live in FL, thanks for your support on this group!

Thanks so much ReneeBC! He's already been home once since heading down there. It didn't help his car was shipped here!

Pam,
I forgot to mention your February trip down! Have a wonderful time!!!!

Pam, We're halfway between Indianapolis and Bloomington. You're right about determined parents! My son is at *NASWI, now, which makes the weekend marathon-drives impossible. We have flown out and back over a weekend, which is just as crazy, though. LOL
*I stay on the JAX page because my son went to C-school there and he has buddies who are stationed there. My mom went to school at JAX, too, in 1958. It's fun to see photos of the base before and after fifty years.

I'm hoping you at least lived in Southern Indiana! We are originally from NW IN, up by Chicago and could not imagine doing a drive like that, butttt that's not to say we wouldn't have done it! Haha, mom's can be pretty persuasive when they want to see their children! Already planning a long weekend in February! This is soooo nice considering his first two duty stations!

It been a long time since I've made such a trip by car!

Woohoo, Pam! He's a short drive away. I'm happy you will have weekend visits in your future.
1after909, We were the crazy parents that left Indiana after work on Friday, driving straight through and trading the driver's seat as needed. We'd get our kid-fix all day Saturday, breakfast Sunday morning, and that marathon drive back to Indiana. We may or may not have missed him more in the winter. ;)

My son has finally arrived in JAX. Moving can be pretty hectic but they are settling in rather nicely. Hopefully it's a little warmer there than here in Atlanta..
