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 P3PilotMOM on March 22, 2011 at 8:30am: On second thought, I got mine at the museum in Pensacola. The ones at Wings were about 1/2 inch and the ones at Pensacola are 1.25 inches. It was a big difference. Wings is very good about returning things if you don't like them, so don't worry about ordering anything from them.

Comment by P3PilotMOM on March 22, 2011 at 8:06am: flywings.com (pensacola Wings store - go to catelogue then 14K jewelry) has a prettier pendant. I got mine there when son started flying. Wear them every day as reminder to pray. They are pure gold and look just like son's wings only smaller. Check out both. This is where I got my sons gold wings for winging also. They also have the mahogany carved models of the aircraft... they are beautiful.

Comment by TennMom on March 21, 2011 at 7:11pm: newfmom-how exciting! Our DS said he was going to a winging this weekend, must be your DS's. We are heading down Friday to Meridian for the Blue Angels show and see our DS. It will be a busy weekend. We are still holding for an early June winging. CQ's next week.

Comment by lsP3Orion on March 21, 2011 at 6:09pm: So, this adorable puppy in my profile picture is going to need a temporary home during my DS's deployment. I've asked a couple of moms who are in Florida if they might know of anyone, but thought I'd put it out to the rest of you. Son is in JAX and is expecting to leave around the end of May. I am hoping not to have Odie shipped to me here in Oregon as it's such a long flight. Any info anyone may have to share with me would be greatly appreciated!

Comment by newfmom on March 21, 2011 at 2:37pm: Well, this is it!!! Winging week in Meridian Ms. for my DS. ! Looking forward to all of the events and exciting times. But first and foremost all of my prayers to the Moms and families of all who are heading for duty this week. My thoughts will be with you.

Comment by P3PilotMOM on March 21, 2011 at 1:46pm: ya'll are so great... thanks.

Comment by snowmc on March 21, 2011 at 1:44pm: SWO = surface warfare officer

Comment by P3PilotMOM on March 21, 2011 at 1:37pm: Thanks... Nancy... i fall in the later category (as well as the first) :)

Comment by P3PilotMOM on March 21, 2011 at 12:42pm: What is DH and DS and SWO.... sorry to be dense.

Comment by snowmc on March 20, 2011 at 7:17pm: For all our navy sons, daughters, husbands, wives, loved ones involved in the newest conflict and those continuing....may they be held safely in God's arms and return to us unharmed. And for those in all branches of our military.
