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 AH on December 4, 2011 at 8:13pm: Well my DS just told us that he didn't get his 1st choice for his next assignment, but watch out all you students at VFA 122 in Lemoore. Sometime next year after his deployment he will be an instructor there. They didn't leave this past weekend for some reason, but will be by the endo of the week, or at least leave for San Diego by the end of the week. Since he is head LSO for his squadron, he will walk on in San Diego and direct planes on board. We gave him his Christmas present early. It is a painted wood FA18E model which is hard to get. Now he has all 3 of the planes that he has flown. With the exception of the F model.

Comment by Julie on December 4, 2011 at 5:53pm: thanks NFAO!!

Comment by NFAO on December 4, 2011 at 5:18pm: Congratulations, Julie! What a handsome couple!!

Comment by Julie on December 4, 2011 at 3:25pm: thanks Chris and navymominohio. The wedding was in Buffalo, NY- all I could think about was a freak snowstorm- but alas all was calm.

they now live in Norfolk VA and my daughter just graduated from college and lives near DC. Depending on what the future hold my hubby and myself may have to leave these beautiful winters in upstate NY and head towards Virginia:)

Comment by Julie on December 4, 2011 at 2:53pm: Leslie- where is Conor going- I must have missed that.

Been busy with wedding- just starting to get pictures. I have posted some on my page and will add a few here. Allison gave DS a groom's cake with wings at the rehearsal dinner- really neat.

the sword arch was amazing and each time they passed they had to "kiss" for the swords to be raised. I am still coming down off an amazing weekend and now have a beautiful daughter- in- law. Time for them to have some time together as the Enterprise goes out again in March or April.

Congrats on all of the new assignments for all of our brave aviators and their families

Comment by Kabar on December 2, 2011 at 1:30pm: Leslie, Thanks for the tip on the wireless discount! Will look into this at Christmas. Son starts Primary in Milton this month.

Comment by NFAO on December 2, 2011 at 9:15am: Judy M - very exciting - Congratulations to Jesse!

Comment by JudyM on December 1, 2011 at 11:13pm: Jesse got jets in Kingsville. Just what he wanted

Comment by Paymaster on December 1, 2011 at 4:26pm: JudyM....I am sitting on pins and needles waiting to her what your son recieved as his assignment. I haven't been this excited since it was my son's turn to recieve his assignment.
