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."

My oldest is stationed at NAS JAX and the middle son is still at Corry station. We also live in the Jacksonville area. Right now its been raining here but it is nice here. If you have any questions about the area just ask.

Has a few buds already there so makes it nice to transition to the new base. I'm off to catch up on some reading here to see how everyone is doing. Thanks for letting me join..Dunesmom

Comment by Gina - Ship 07, Div. 050 on September 14, 2011 at 7:53pm: LOL....he already did the drowning part in NACCS, so I'm confident he has that mastered by now!

Comment by Gina - Ship 07, Div. 050 on September 13, 2011 at 6:13pm: Thanks Everybody! I can't wait until Saturday when I can speak to my son again. It supposedly rained in Maine while he was "on the course." Oh good grief, the poor guy. His poor newly-wed bride is just beside herself with worry, I'm telling her that everything will be ok. I hope I'm not lying.

Comment by Tee-1sailor's mom on September 9, 2011 at 3:35pm: Wow Marybeth, we need to switch! Mine is from Calif and stationed in JAX!

Gina...(((Navy Mom HUGS))))) for that!

Comment by navymom3 on September 7, 2011 at 8:15pm: Welcome Gina. I live in Jax and have a son stationed in Jax and one heading to Japan in a month.

Comment by Gina - Ship 07, Div. 050 on September 7, 2011 at 7:04pm: Hi all, I'm Gina and I'm new to the group. My son is currently in that unspoken 2 week course up north and will be in JAX afterwards. GO NAVY!
