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 KIM756 on October 24, 2012 at 9:33pm: Haha I know exactly what you mean. Sounds like Nick has been on short times at sea. Do you know when he goes out for a long time? I'm having a hard time figuring out what to send in care pkgs since they don't have a lot of room to put stuff.

Comment by eljac913 (Ship 12 Div 053) on October 23, 2012 at 11:45pm: Nick is on the USS Theodore Roosevelt DDG 98. I love him having him close. When he is out to sea, I can email him so that is good. I am still trying to learn everything. I feel like i need an interpreter sometimes. :)

Comment by KIM756 on October 23, 2012 at 11:32am: I have 2 Cody's :) Mine is doing great and loving what he's doing. He says the Docs are pretty cool. Other Cody is good too, he is deployed on the USS Eisenhouer. I miss them both like crazy but I am so thankful I can talk to mine anytime and get to email all the time the other one and sometimes get to talk to him. What ship is Nick on?

Comment by eljac913 (Ship 12 Div 053) on October 22, 2012 at 9:04pm: I remember you Kim756. Nick is doing well and liking it. How about your son? Does he like what he is doing? Nick loves being underway the best of all.

Comment by KIM756 on October 21, 2012 at 1:12am: Eljac913, yep they did. I thought your name was familiar, I just looked at my friend list and there you are! Yay :)

Comment by KIM756 on October 21, 2012 at 1:10am: Lucky you guys are so close. I'm in Washington State.
Eljac913 I think our boys PIR'd together. :) My son was Ship 7 Div 59. How's he liking it so far?

Comment by eljac913 (Ship 12 Div 053) on October 19, 2012 at 10:20pm: Hi everyone, I have a son in JAX also. Lucky for me, I live outside of Tampa so he has been able to come home every so often. Currently he is in Norfolk. He told me he has duty on Thanksgiving day but can come home the following day. Nice to meet other moms.

Comment by navymom3 on October 14, 2012 at 11:38am: Welcome Kim. I have a son at NAS JAX also but he is an ATI. We also live in the Jax area. Your son will love it here as we have great weather.

Comment by KIM756 on October 14, 2012 at 11:25am: Hi everyone, I'm new to this site. My son got to JAX at the end of September. He is a Corpsman. Looking forward to getting to know other Moms.

Comment by Tee-1sailor's mom on October 8, 2012 at 10:45am: I'll be there for that reason too Becky, maybe we can meet? I'm staying for a week. I don't know what we're doing for Thanksgiving day yet, my son's housing is in transition right now. I think he said that they can't give everyone more than 3 days off at a time so some still have to be on duty.

zzsmom I would definitely check with your state's DMV. My son had his license in Calif. and he renewed it but it never came. Even thought it says it's expired he can drive in Florida because it's registered in Calif. When he comes back to Calif he can still drive with the expired license unless he's here for more than 30 days. Of course he's had to prove this a few times, espcially when buying alcohol, which is silly because just because the license is expired it doesn't change his birthday! Anyway, my long-winded point is that I think all the states have different rules on licenses and registrations.
