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 gabbyhat on November 7, 2012 at 3:33pm: I'm sorry, enjoy your time with her at Xmas...sorry Thanksgiving didnt work out...

Comment by gabbyhat on November 7, 2012 at 3:32pm: Aww...lucky you ZZ's mom....just know you will enjoy our time with her...my dtr grads her C school week from Friday, Luckily, I head out a week from tomorrow to watch her graduate and bring her brother to visit as well. She will be spending Thanksgiving with her husband in San Diego, and Xmas wirh his family in Indiana....will really miss her, but I know they need to be with each other.:) enjoy your time!

Comment by ZZsMom on November 7, 2012 at 3:00pm: Who gets to spend Thanksgiving with their Sailor's? I'm not. We did have plans to go but her Christmas leave was approved so I can't see driving 1000 miles one way to have her then fly home 3 week later. On one hand I'm bummed and on the other I can't wait for her to sleep in her bed on Christmas Eve. I can't wait to sneek into her room and watch her. Silly the things a mother misses.

Comment by Becky on November 6, 2012 at 8:12pm: Thank you both for the information. I know I can always depend on this group.

Comment by Maria ( 9/132 - HM- 04-2011) on November 6, 2012 at 7:18pm: Becky, my son stopped Receiving his meal allowance when he arrived in JAX. He was not happy as the food is not very good.

Comment by Kalynn on November 6, 2012 at 4:53pm: He needs to look at his LES very closely! If it's not showing up under his allowences at all then he needs to go to the PSD building on the corner of Childs Street and Birmingham Avenue. However what I imagine is happening...If he is still living in that baracks, since there is a galley available to him then he'll be getting the BAS allowence but it will also be showing up as an allotment that they're taking back, but you get 3 meals a day!

Comment by Becky on November 6, 2012 at 4:36pm: Does anyone know how BAS is suppossed to work at JAX? My AWV is telling me that his has stopped showing up in his pay? Does that ever happen and how does he get it re-instated and paid for back BAS?

Comment by omama on November 6, 2012 at 1:27am: I am excited for him to get to Jax he is headed to Sere the end of the month and reports to Jax 2nd week of December, he is going AWO Acustic. I sure hope that they will let him come home for Christmas. I miss him! He has been gone a yr! Tee-1saliors mom, enjoy thanksgiving with your son!!!
