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 NFAO on July 3, 2022 at 4:56pm: Andy'sMom - CONGRATS! Our DS is the Training Officer in the Black Lions so I'm sure they know each other...

Comment by Huskermom on July 3, 2022 at 4:49pm: Thanks, CheriH. I am glad to know more about the process. I hope his orders come through in a way that is best for his family.

Comment by CheriH on July 3, 2022 at 11:44am: Huskermom...let's see. He left on his first one in Feb of 2016. Second one in Oct of 2018. Came home and immediately went to Fallon for Topgun for 3 months. Then left this time in Jan of 2022. So,3 deployments in 6 1/2 years. He will get a new assignment this fall; just praying it's not a squadron that deploys soon. It would be really hard on our DIL and their kids.

Comment by Huskermom on July 1, 2022 at 6:35pm: What great news, CheriH! Can I ask - three deployments over how many years?

Comment by CheriH on July 1, 2022 at 5:14pm: Aahhhh. Such a feeling of relief. The Lincoln pulled into Pearl Harbor this week and my DIL and kids flew to spend a week with our DS. It's been a long and hard deployment. After the week together the Lincoln does RIMPAC and then he comes home. So, it's downhill from here on his 3rd deployment. Now to hear his next assignment. Crossing our fingers it's not another immediate deployment.

Comment by CheriH on June 17, 2022 at 2:07pm: Yes, Andy'smom...you nailed it. But you still can trust in their training and his talent. You've made it this far too...hang in there and know that we are all feeling the same things!!!

Comment by Huskermom on June 16, 2022 at 9:46pm: Congratulations, Andy'sMom!

Comment by Andy'sMom on June 16, 2022 at 5:50pm: Thank you Glenni and CheriH!

He is feeling very much relieved at getting thru all the training. And now my worries take a different turn, lol. The only thinking that has kept me sane thru his private and instrument training and then the Naval training is that I have to trust in the instructors that taught him, and his talents that have gotten him this far. He is flying the Super Hornet with the Black Lions.

Comment by CheriH on June 16, 2022 at 11:01am: That is so exciting, Andy'sMom! There is a feeling of "I finally made it" that is well-deserved. What is he flying?

Congrats to all of you for making it through this challenging process!
