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 Barb on January 19, 2014 at 1:21pm: Thank you, NFAO. I sent you a friend request a short bit ago.

Is there anymore news on the pilot's condition from last week's crash?

Comment by NFAO on January 19, 2014 at 12:15pm: Barb, I'm glad to share the details - our DS was winged in Nov; just PM me.

Comment by Barb on January 19, 2014 at 12:09pm: Hi there, Does anyone have any details on more recent Winging ceremonies at Kingsville NAS?

Comment by Helomom on January 17, 2014 at 1:29am: I had a fun thing happen today. Got a text from my DS while he was in El Centro getting fuel. It's the little things. I think he is off to Fallon soon. He had his official photo taken and is working on his official bio. Next it all goes off to the webmaster. Rolling along on the next big adventure.

Comment by Thetribemom on January 16, 2014 at 2:25pm: Thanks agian, will be needing you all more and more lol.

Comment by Thetribemom on January 16, 2014 at 2:24pm: I just want to take a minute to thank you all again for being here. I can't get on much to post but recieve an email evertime you post and it helps so much.The twin went to MEPS Tuesday got home last night. There is a mix up in his departure date and job so we wait a few more days to find out when he accually leaves for BC. It looks like June. He is excited, so is the twin that is in Norfolk. Soooo that means empty nest here. Lol the next couple of months will be special. DS finishs school and departs for Japan in April and the BC for recuit.

Comment by CheriH on January 16, 2014 at 10:53am: Suzie: I love the Angels text. What a great idea.

I did the next best thing to callling my DS; called his wife! I get a much better feel for how he is really doing from her. And she loves talking about him and what is going on. I think it also helps break up the boredom she is dealing with as she hasn't found a job in Kingsville. Neither of them talk about the incidents. Altho' I would love to know what they think, I guess it wouldn't help either of us to dwell on it. So, I thank you moms for being there and expressing what I'm feeling. It does help to know I'm not alone!

On a positive note, they have invited us and other family members to join them in Kingsville for the Air Show in March. They've decided it's a great reason to have a party that weekend. We are so excited!
