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 Hurricane on March 17, 2015 at 11:15pm: If the "Navy" is moving home they will send in one to two packers (he has to schedule this with personal property). He will need to be there and watch them because sometimes there are sketchy people if you don't pay attention. Once it is all packed, the driver will come load it all the next day and take it to Corpus.

Comment by J/J Mom on March 17, 2015 at 10:52pm: Ok, i need help, please. DS is finishing API & moving to Corpus Christi. He's having the Navy move him. He was told by some other SNAs tonight that the movers "don't pack you stuff for you, they just load it up." That isn't correct, is it? The movers will also pack everything, right?

Comment by HeloMOM2016 on March 17, 2015 at 9:29pm: UNM Sean's mom...thanks for the info. However my son was having difficulty getting anyone to make a decision as they didn't know if they wanted to move again or stay in Pensacola. My son knew he didn't want that drive everyday so he rented an apartment solo. He stated he will miss roommates but wont miss being the "maid" of the group and doing all the cleaning. Poor guy had two bad experiences with living with officers who don't like to clean...LOL

Comment by pbmcdaniel on March 17, 2015 at 6:55pm: jdianew: is your DS/DD celebrating flight suit friday this week? our DS is,so they may be in the same API school. NFO or pilot? maybe our paths will cross.

Comment by helenp on March 17, 2015 at 5:06pm: Flight Suit Friday - The day during API that the class has earned and get issued their flight suits. I understand that they can only begin to wear them after they pass all the ground school academic exams and get briefed.

Comment by jdianew on March 17, 2015 at 4:40pm: Okay ladies.....what is flight suit Friday?

Comment by HeloMOM2016 on March 8, 2015 at 10:32pm: HI all,

I am looking for information on furnished apartments or condos near Milton. My student pilot is heading to Milton from Pensacola later this month. He doesn't want to stay in Pensacola...we took the ride when we were visiting a few weeks ago and it was an hour from his current condo in Pensacola. Valuable study time as he put it...

Any assistance is appreciated...I am new at this

Thanks Gina

Comment by helenp on March 6, 2015 at 8:59pm: My DS had flight suit Friday just before Christmas. He was so happy and excited, except they ran out of leather flight jackets in his size. He's still waiting.

Comment by CheriH on March 6, 2015 at 8:21pm: Jn/JfMom - very exciting! One of many exciting steps along the way. I loved hearing about all of them. And if your LO doesn't want to explain them, just ask us! I learned so much from these moms along the way.

I think our DS finally has a classup date. 7 months of twiddling his thumbs. I'm crossing my fingers in the hope that it really happens. I'll keep you posted!
