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."

Welcome to everyone who has joined. We'd love to hear your stories about your NFO.
My son graduated in 2004, was winged in 2006, has been on one deployment, and was recently selected for Test Pilot School- yes they take NFO's! It's been an exciting and sometimes emotional few years.
Please tell us a little about yourself and your NFO. If you have questions about training, deployment, or anything else, please ask. There will be several members with experience to help out the newbies.

Comment by sheriswick on June 8, 2010 at 4:54pm: Wow It's bad enough having one in the service I can't imagine have both my sons in.

Comment by PattyM on June 8, 2010 at 1:22am: Hi Kris - I know it will be difficult, but it makes the in-between visits so wonderful :-) AND, she will at least be on the West Coast, only a 1-1/2 hour flight from Sacramento :-)

Comment by PattyM on June 6, 2010 at 2:10am: Just wanted to say hi to everyone....can't wait for Tracy's winging in JAX on Sept. 17th!!! Then, off to Whidbey Island and immediate deployment. It's kind of far away, but this will be the very first Christmas ALL of my kids haven't been home. Tracy has been active duty for almost 4 years and we have been greatly blessed to have her as long as we have :) Hope everyone is having a great weekend....Patty

Comment by Matt'sMom on May 25, 2010 at 7:43pm: My son just rolled into 18-10, just wondering if anyone else has a kid in there?
Thanks.

Comment by MeredithsMom on May 19, 2010 at 7:52pm: Just heard that our daughter will be staying in JAX with VP16. We are all very relieved, although she apparently will be deploying as soon as she can complete SERE.

Comment by snowmc on May 17, 2010 at 3:21pm: Ok Prof M...I am jealous beyond all possible belief. Say hi to my boy for me! His brother will be visiting the end of June for about 2 weeks. Good luck with the end of the semester. My youngest daughter may be contacting you for some information she might need for a final project in sports med. Her subject is cancers of the male and female reproductive systems.

Comment by snowmc on May 14, 2010 at 3:35pm: My son graduated OCS the end of March...he has been told to prepare for IFS the beginning of June.

Comment by rokymtns on May 12, 2010 at 1:26pm: Class 18-10 has a lot of NFO's in it since they pushing back the dates of the pilots starting OCS. I'll let them know of this site, too.

Comment by Growlermom711 on May 12, 2010 at 10:41am: just returned from a week's vacation to see my son who is at NAS Whidbey Island and my daughter-in -law.I had forgotten just how beautiful that part of the country is. Got to see many Growler's and saw a few take off-always very exciting for me!
