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 TamiNavyMom, we're heading to Jax last week of Sept for our son's graduation. I'm looking at renting a condo on Amelia Island and just hanging out with our son at the beach. Want to get all the time in we can visiting before he heads off to his first duty station. We were able to go this summer and spent several days in St. Augustine. That was nice also.

Hi everyone, my son is stationed in Jacksonville also and has been there for a year now. He has been in 2 years in Dec. We live outside of Tampa and feel lucky he is close. I am also hoping he makes a career out of this. No jobs here so he may as well stay in.

ZZsMom, I too am hoping that he decides to make the Navy a career. He still has FRS to complete and then he will go into the Fleet. Right now he is enjoying it but I don't think he has thought much about extending his enlistment but that may change once he gets out of school. Where else can you see the world, get paid to do it and "retire" after 20 years?
