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 lsP3Orion on April 8, 2010 at 8:10pm: Hi,

Does anyone know how to put the discussions in date order?? This one has the most current replies first, but for example, I was just over at the Winging Gifts discussion and the most current comment is on the last page.

The website that I put up in that discussion is getting 5 P3 models next week (he checked a shipment that's been ordered).

Leslie, Conor's so close now - that's really exciting! Glad to hear Brian's doing well too - going in a plane is a good thing :)

I am loving learning everything about our Navy, so agreed, NFO moms, stay close, they're aviators and part of Naval Aviation too!!

Comment by Growlermom711 on April 8, 2010 at 9:05am: Donna, as a mom of an NFO for 8 years, I would love a group for NFO 's. as it has been said, there are similarities but differences too.

Comment by lou2949 on April 7, 2010 at 11:16pm: sounds great......looking forward to it!!

Comment by snowmc on April 7, 2010 at 10:57pm: My son is leaving tomorrow....I will "friend" you and we can talk in more detail.

Comment by lou2949 on April 7, 2010 at 7:47pm: not too much but what's there is very interesting.....we need to stay in touch as our LO's are going through this next phase together......my LO is home now and will be heading back to Pensacola early next week...found a great place to live and is very excited to get a class date...is hearing it might be 4-6 mos. instead of 10 mos. but who knows...rumors run rampant...

Comment by snowmc on April 7, 2010 at 7:03pm: found the discussion...thanks...not much activity there

Comment by lou2949 on April 7, 2010 at 6:04pm: snowmc.....go to the top of this discussion page and click on "view all" in the lower right corner of the Discussion Forum and you'll find a discussion group for Mom's of NFO's....let me know if you find it.....

Comment by snowmc on April 7, 2010 at 5:46pm: I think it would be very helpful to have a group for us...we have similar experiences to pilot moms, but yet there are differences.
