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 January 26, 2011 at 1:18pm: AH... that will be so much fun. I am so glad they provide this for parents. You will have a blast, Hawaii is so amazing you won't want to leave, but the tiger cruise will be worth it all... YEAH~!!

Comment by lsP3Orion on January 26, 2011 at 12:50pm: AH - that is going to be one INCREDIBLE ride for you guys - cannot wait to hear all about it. Document everthing for us!

Comment by AH on January 26, 2011 at 10:37am: Well.... we finally have Tiger Cruise dates. I am so excited. I will share everything when we get back. I am going to be very, very busy getting ready to leave work for about 3 weeks. We want to spend time in Hawaii first and then a week on the cruise. We'll see San Diego a bit (that is where the girlfriend is) and my hubby has never seen where Mike lives in Lemoore.

Comment by P3PilotMOM on January 26, 2011 at 10:17am: Jane: amazing about the sim, it's great to be in their world and have them do well and us crash...I had my sons sim looking like a drunk bee on the display, how they do it amazes me....but.... I am so glad my son is not landing on a carrier.

Comment by Paymaster on January 25, 2011 at 4:24pm: Jane....So sorry for all that you are going through right now. Its hard to be a distance away and deal with family issues.

As for my son he had all the options, jets, fixed wing or helo. He chose helo's for a number of reasons: Liked working with a crew, the flight community, the deversity of assignments (land and ship) and the challenges a helo brings (you have to be more coord to fly helo's then jets).

He just signed his commitment papers for 5 more years, so I guess we are in the for long haul (20 years).

Comment by lsP3Orion on January 25, 2011 at 3:38pm: Jane - so sorry about your loss - hope you have wonderful memories that will help you and your family get through this sad time!

Comment by P3PilotMOM on January 25, 2011 at 10:07am: ohio... thanks... didn't pick up on that one. Yup, past is good!!

Comment by Paymaster on January 25, 2011 at 9:46am: Helomom....I think we helo mom's are just quiet. My son flys a 60.

Comment by P3PilotMOM on January 25, 2011 at 9:15am: Also.... ignorance here... what is an SNA

Comment by P3PilotMOM on January 25, 2011 at 9:12am: Chris - thanks for the answer. So much happens that we do not know about. As for my son, I like knowing when he will be flying or on the SIM or testing. He wants and I take it as an honor to stay in prayer for the specific items. There will always be more than we know (SERE anyone???) but knowing as much as he can and will tell me is a blessing.

On a great note, the kids got a house on the Seaplane base on Whidbey, huge blessing. They will be able to move in as soon as they make the cross country and north to south drive from JAX. As a mom I will be glad when that 2 car (they are towing one) drive with a pregnant wife is over... Lots to pray about there, but at least they have a house and will be settled before he deploys.... HUGE HUGE blessing.
