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."

ok, I'll bite...what is a 'dusty dog???' The name of a squadron, or the type of Naval unit that is assigned a certain kind of task or what????
Or both? I tried to google it, and nothing appears either....hmmmm?

I see there is a "dusty dog" in your group. That would be my son's squadron.

Thanks, Jim. My son just joined one of the sqaudrons at NAS JAX. We flew out to assist with move in. Whew! I can't believe they do that at least every two years. We spent 10 days helping with hauling boxes and entertaining the grandkids. Hadn't been to that area of Florida before just Orlando, Pensacola, and the Miami/Keys area. Very nice, a little warm...and buggy...but nice.

Okay Grannysandy....when your son gets back from SERE, please share his stories! I'm very curious about his experience there and how did things go for him in Maine. I thought they all went to SERE in California? (confusing) We heard, while they are at SERE, they have to "move out" of the barracks, and store their stuff...is that right?
What is the "new hanger?"in JAX
My son is in his second week of school in JAX, as an AW, non acoustic, same class as JIM GRAMZA's son. YOU on the other hand, seem to be way ahead of us and can answer questions! Yay!
Thanks so much...

Hi Gramza family....Wow...my son is in the same class as your son... My sailor says your sailor is cool!

Our son is 4th from the right, front row in that graduation picture of the fellas under the yellow plane. He's the one with the raised eyebrow! He's loving Jacksonville!
