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 ZZsMom on November 28, 2011 at 3:32pm: Thank you. Now a different question, what are the barracks like at Jacksonville? Are they apartment type with shared kitchens, seperate bedrooms or is it more a dorm room with everyone together and only a microwave and mini frig?

Comment by navymom3 on November 28, 2011 at 3:16pm: It will be leave that is counted against the leave she has earned so far.

Comment by ZZsMom on November 28, 2011 at 3:10pm: So would it be leave that she has or would it be leave that doesnt count against her?

Comment by navymom3 on November 28, 2011 at 2:50pm: ZZ-The time in between is her leave time to go home and visit.

Comment by ZZsMom on November 28, 2011 at 1:59pm: So who can help me with Navy talk? My daughters orders say that she is to report to Jacksonville on Jan 1. Graduates PNS on Dec 15. What happens with her in the interim?

Comment by Mari on November 28, 2011 at 1:49pm: Anyone else's son in VP26?

Comment by 20100510navymom on November 24, 2011 at 9:15pm: I too am grateful for the family that is sharing Thanksgiving with my son.......Thank you to all of those opening their homes to our sons and daughters!

Comment by Dunesmom on November 24, 2011 at 7:56pm: Hope Everyone is having a wonderful Thanksgiving. Just got a call from Dune and he is pretty thankful, as am I too, for being invited to share in the Thanksgiving of a fellow crewmans Family. Said he even got to carve the turkey. Thank you so much to this family for giving my Son a bit of home for the Holiday. :)

Comment by Brittany proud Navy Wife :) on November 23, 2011 at 11:42pm: erin if u call housing they have a huge list, you can ask for one with apts or houses. Fleming Island is nice but in my opinion to much of a drive. We rent a house close to blanding off argyle.

Comment by navymom3 on November 21, 2011 at 4:20pm: Welcome erinlynn- The Fleming island area is a nice place to live. There are lots of places to shop and not far from the base. Check out militarybyowner.com for rentals or try hovergirl reality. We found our house on militraybyowner as it is houses being dols or rented by military families. We live in Middleburg just on the edge of Orange Park and Fleming Island.
