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."

She just found out yesterday she will be coming to Jacksonville but doesn't have a timeline since her orders haven't shown up online yet. I am a want to understand everything kind of Mom so no doubt I will be asking lots of questions. Anyway, hello and I am looking forward to meeting you all!

My middle son is coming from Pcola to be here for Thanksgiving. Last one for him for probably several years as he will be in Japan.

Don't know when I will see her after that, but we will have XMAS and Thanksgiving at the same time...glad you will see your boy at Christmas!

Comment by Dunesmom on November 12, 2011 at 4:09pm: Hello All! Sounds like things are moving right along for our Sailors. My Son said P'cola is pretty nice in the winter, now that comes from a guy that lives in the north with snow. It was one of the things he missed about home. He was the guy driving around in the snow blizzards looking for people stuck in the ditch. Yep he pulled out a few. I'm sorry to say that i have never gotten to see the Blue Angels. Some day. Oh Jim i bet you are just getting so excited to see you Sailor, how long has it been? Do any of you have plans to see your Sailors for Thanksgiving? Us? nope he is waiting to come home for Christmas and yes all that snow:) Have a Great Day Everyone!

Comment by navymom3 on November 6, 2011 at 2:36pm: Aircrewmom- We were there also with my son. He works in the first big building that you walked past to get to the show.

Comment by AirCrewMom (SailorMOM)Div 349 on November 6, 2011 at 12:28pm: Great day at the Blue Angels show yesterday, was so glad to be with my son.

Comment by navymom3 on October 25, 2011 at 10:24am: jsrmom- My son is going to Yokosuka in January. His c school starts on monday in pcola. They say it's not a cold there in the winter. He will be there for 3 years I believe. We also have AT&t and not sure what we are going to do yet. He just exchanged his i phone for a new one using his warranty he had bought. We will have to call them when he is home for thanksgiving and see what they say.
