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 Jodi-alumni Ship 4 on September 12, 2013 at 11:45am: Hi spomss, group 3 for us????

Comment by ReneeBC on September 11, 2013 at 8:19pm: spomss,

I bet you get a call right after that first flight! We no longer get a call after every flight, but we'll get one when something interesting or funny happens. (That he is allowed to share.)

Comment by spomss on September 11, 2013 at 7:56pm: thanks so much-I have spent some time today reading! Not a Jags fan either-but when in Rome...

funny-you said 'flown by'...he is so excited for that first flight!

Comment by ReneeBC on September 11, 2013 at 7:30pm: spomss,

Welcome to JAX! If you are not familiar with the area, there is something to do for everyone . (Except that I cannot bring myself to cheer for their football team. LOL)

Unlike RTC and A school when you felt every second of the ticking clock, C school has flown by for us and our AWV.

Comment by spomss on September 11, 2013 at 7:08pm: Hi JAX mommas! My AWV will grad Pcola 9/16 and is very excited about JAX-and so am I!

Comment by ibmom on September 7, 2013 at 9:18am: omama good to hear your son is enjoying his new home. That's great that he will train on the P-8. Our son has been told he will most likely be going to a squadron that will deploy by end of year also. He's looking forward to it, I'm not. I'm sending you a PM.

Comment by Tee-1sailor's mom on September 5, 2013 at 4:27pm: Hi everyone, I didn't realize it's been so long since I've checked in here. I had a busy summer, 2 trips to Jacksonville, my son re-enlisted, got married then they came out here to visit. He'll be deploying in Nov. so that's next on the roller coaster ride.

Congrats to those graduating!

Comment by omama on September 5, 2013 at 1:38am: ibmom, he loves Whidbey! He told me everyone is nice and fun to work with. let me know where you son goes!! My son is heading on deployment for 8 months in November, this will be the hardest part for my DL. Then he will go to JAX after he returns from deployment for 5 months to train on the P-8 so it will be a long road for them to be away from each other. I hope they let him be home a few months before they send him to JAX. This first time will be the hardest, they are still newly weds and aren't ready for a break from each other. lol :)

Comment by ibmom on September 4, 2013 at 9:12am: Yes Tami he's aircrew, AWO acoustic on P3s. I am booking on VRBO.com. We have used them several times. Got some good places in P'cola using it.

Renee, I know, time has flown too quickly. Pretty sure he's going to soon be along way from home. Your son is AWF?? Sorry can't remember. I should make notes.

Hey omama, how's Whidbey for your son and new DL? We should hear where our boy will be heading soon now.
