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 20100510navymom on January 20, 2015 at 7:00pm: I'm here too............my sailor is in JAX almost 5 years now.

Comment by cc2014 on January 20, 2015 at 5:50pm: My daughter finished boot camp in Nov. And has been at Pensacola for A-Pact Training. She finishes on Friday and will then head to JAX where she is to be assigned to a helicopter squadron. I am new to Navy and still learning as I go:)

Comment by navymom3 on January 20, 2015 at 12:50pm: I am still here. My oldest sailor is now in Cali at Point Mugo but we still live here in Jax. And my middle sailor is in San Diego now after being in Japan for 3 years.

Comment by ZZsMom on January 20, 2015 at 12:15pm: My Sailor is now in OKC-Tinker but her BF is still in JAX and its looking like come August my Sailor will be back to JAX.

Comment by Tee-1sailor's mom on January 20, 2015 at 12:03pm: How about a roll call? Check in with a little info about you and your sailor.

Comment by Tee-1sailor's mom on January 20, 2015 at 11:59am: I'm curious about who is following this group these days. I try to check in every few days to see if anyone has posted. Guess I missed it this time!

FYI to all here, my son is Aircrew (AWO) at JAX and is in his 5th year in the Navy. I live in California.

Comment by Tee-1sailor's mom on January 20, 2015 at 11:55am: Hi Jim, and a late Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you (and everyone!)

Awesome that you got to see your son for Christmas.

Comment by Tee-1sailor's mom on December 10, 2014 at 12:54pm: Navymom14, have you joined the Aircrew group? They are a great bunch and are very informative. (Mine is also AWO)

Comment by Tee-1sailor's mom on December 10, 2014 at 12:51pm: I believe the problem can be that the post office, where they pick up their mail, is only open certain hours and they are at work at that time. Mine had some issues with lost items, but it's been a while since he lived on base.Also, I lose track of which housing had which issues! LOL

Comment by Navymom14 on December 5, 2014 at 11:10am: I have sent a couple of packages to JAX and he got them in a timely manner. Once his package arrived on base it took an extra day or two to get to the area where he picks up his mail.
