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."

Debbie,  

My son received regular mail within a week.  UPS delivered at the usual pace.  I don't know of an instance when mail took longer to get there.

Perhaps someone else had a different experience.  Anyone?

Hello everyone. I was hoping someone knows about mail delivery at JAX
My daughter got to base on Saturday. She told me yesterday that she just found out that when mail arrives on base they still don't receive it for 3-4 weeks. Does that sound correct? She was previously at pensacola and woul receive the packages within 4-5 days

Noel, I wasn't able to attend my son's winging ceremony.  What is NOF?

Hi JAX moms, dads & other family.  HAPPY THANKSGIVING!  A while ago Jim G made me a co-administrator and I've been MIA for a while on here.  Now that I'm retired I'm hoping to keep up with the group more often.  My son is Aircrew stationed at JAX.  He's been there for a few years now.  I've visited there 3 or 4 times (I live in California).

Hi everyone. My Sailor graduated A school from Pensacola on 11/4. He is attached to a squadron in Jacksonville. He is currently on his way overseas to meet up with his squadron which is already deployed.

My AWO sailor arrived in JAX a couple of weeks ago. He is excited for this next part of his journey. He is on hold for a couple of months and goes to SERE in January. I'm so thankful for Navy For Moms!
