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 tmonroe on February 13, 2013 at 4:28pm: Hi, It has been taking up to 3 weeks for my son to get mail that should only take 3 days to get there. Folks sent packages to him on December 10th and he didn't get them until January 18th. Does anyone know if there is a better way to send them other than the post office box he gave me at division 600?

Comment by Becky on February 12, 2013 at 11:24am: Thank you all so much. I had a feeling it would probably be sort of last minute. Oh, well, it will be great just to see him graduate.

Comment by Tee-1sailor's mom on February 11, 2013 at 7:12pm: HI JIM!

Becky, me and few other family flew across the country to attened, think we knew over a month ahead, but just like the Navy, it wasn't absolutely for sure until, like Jim said, about 2 weeks ahead. Good thing I flew SW because I had booked the flights a week behind the date! I was able to change it thank goodness, wouldn't have wanted to miss it!

Comment by Becky on February 4, 2013 at 2:13pm: Anticipating graduation from C School in a few months. Do any of you Moms have any first hand knowledge? How much advance warning do they give you and I am assuming that it is held on base? Any input will be greatfully appreciated.

Comment by omama on January 17, 2013 at 12:28am: My son is really enjoying his schooling in Jax!! and likes flying but said it kind of makes him get airsick when he flys with a pilot in training:)

Comment by eljac913 (Ship 12 Div 053) on January 16, 2013 at 11:14pm: Hi minecoyote...my son recently told me he is the Navy Blue Jacket of the quarter. I don't know what that is? Can you explain? Thank you.

Comment by flgirltwo on January 14, 2013 at 2:48pm: Does anyone know how long it takes to be assigned to a squadron? Son just got his name in on his last duty weekend. Would he know by his next duty weekend in February?
