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 Stephanie( Mrs. Davis) on April 4, 2010 at 11:26pm: Yes I heard it is, I heard he will have the weekends off. Thanks for info.

Comment by Cassandra Rose on April 4, 2010 at 11:24pm: That'll be so awesome if you live in FL :) And no problem! I bet you're at least a little excited he switched to Aviation from Seal.... haha

Comment by Stephanie( Mrs. Davis) on April 4, 2010 at 11:10pm: Thanks so much for the information. I really appreciate it:)

Comment by Stephanie( Mrs. Davis) on April 4, 2010 at 11:10pm: Ya thats what I found out too. I just don't want to get excited since I live in FL and it turn out he is in Virginia or something. He switched right before he left his job. He was suppose to be a seal so, he didn't know where he was going for A school or nothing.

Comment by Cassandra Rose on April 4, 2010 at 11:07pm: NavyGirlfriend- just a quick google search told me that Pensacola is the primary Naval Aviation school. My friend who is in the program now said that it's the only place they'll send you after boot camp for A School if you have anything to do with aviation. Kinda weird his recruiters didn't tell him that by this point? My fiance's recruiters and people at MEPS told him where he would be for A School pretty much when he signed up.

Comment by Stephanie( Mrs. Davis) on April 4, 2010 at 11:00pm: He doesn't know yet. I am just trying to get an idea where they are. Thank you though

Comment by Stephanie( Mrs. Davis) on April 4, 2010 at 10:54pm: No phone call today:( The last two weeks I got a phone call during the weekend. For some reason I felt I was going to get one. Congrats to all the the ladies who got one. I hope it lifted your spirits and eased some of the pain we are all feeling. Does anyone know where the aviation A- schools are? I know pensacola but, is there any other ones? I am trying to figure out where he may be going since he is a grad and go and still unsure of where he may be going.

Comment by Cassandra Rose on April 4, 2010 at 7:16pm: Yes my fiance is in DIV 184 ship 12 as well :) Hope that helps proudmomoftwosailors!

Comment by Barrett's mom on April 4, 2010 at 6:50pm: My son is on Ship 12 Div 184. My daughter-in-law got 4 letters yesterday!
She was at our house today when he called today. Somehow he was miss dialing
her number and called here to get it. What a blessing for us to hear from him. We
are so grateful to know he is doing well. I hope everyone gets a call today!
God Bless and know that we are in this together.

Comment by Cassandra Rose on April 4, 2010 at 6:23pm: FIRST PHONE CALL TODAY. Best Easter present ever :) How in the world does 20 minutes go by so quickly?!
