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 Helomom on July 30, 2009 at 3:11pm: Hi Rafael- Good to see that you got safely to JAX! Good luck with the apartment hunting this weekend. Hopefully something will just fall into place. I think someone mentioned the Orange Park area. I saw lots of really nice looking apartments during our visit there in June. The drive to the air station and back doesn't appear to be too bad. Good luck!

Comment by Storymom on July 29, 2009 at 9:15pm: Yay for Rafael Apple! Safe and Sound and tucked in bed too!
What more could a bunch of Navy Moms ask for? Good job...you done good!
and we wish you good things at your new base!

Comment by Helomom on July 21, 2009 at 9:30pm: Rafael- Just got confirmation from my son, 3 days. He's in Fallon right now at training. He texted... 3. Man of few words, I guess.

Comment by Helomom on July 21, 2009 at 8:06pm: He didn't have the family with him on this last trip. Looking at my text logs it looks like Las Cruces, NM the first night. Houston, TX the second night and JAX the third night. That's a 9 hour day, a 10 hour day, and a 13 hour day. He really pushed it. It's a solid 4 day trip at least with a family.

Comment by Helomom on July 20, 2009 at 11:27am: Excellent Rafael! San Diego to JAX. My son just did that one in May. I-8 to I-10 and drive to the end of the road...

Comment by Storymom on July 19, 2009 at 2:20am: Yea Awesome P-8's!

Comment by Storymom on July 18, 2009 at 4:44pm: Congrats Rafael!!

Comment by Storymom on July 17, 2009 at 11:29pm: 30 days of observer school is OVER!!...My son graduates on Tuesday (along with Jim's) from that part of training! Onward to the next "phase" Yay for the boys!
