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 Oleander on July 20, 2015 at 12:49am: Hi splah & Nori! Thanks so much for responding. Yes - she'll be on the USS Pearl Harbor which started it's mid-life overhaul in April 2014. I'm not sure how long that takes and her ship's site has no activity. I sent a request last week with no response so very happy to meet you both!

Comment by Noni on July 19, 2015 at 11:45pm: hi Orlander, my daughter is stationed at 32 ave base. Do you know what her ship duty is? There is also forums for the ship she will be stationed on.

Comment by splash on July 19, 2015 at 8:26pm: Hi Oleander, Do you know which base your daughter is assigned to? My daughter is on the Amphibious base Coronado. She has been there since Jan and loves it. She has made a lot of friends and has a lot of fun. She was a little home sick for a while but after a couple months was ok.

Comment by Oleander on July 19, 2015 at 6:59pm: Hi everyone, I'm new to the group. My Sailor daughter has received her orders and will be in San Diego early August. Luckily we live just a few hours away but would love to connect here and learn more about what she'll experience in San Diego.

Comment by Doreen-ProudNavyMom on May 6, 2015 at 7:31pm: Angie,

They have much more freedom now in A School. My son has been in San Diego for 2 1/2 years and I only hear from him once a week. I read about mom's who hear from their sailors more often. I think it depends on the kid. I know he is working long hours, but then again I know he is on his phone or computer playing games, too. LOL Why they can't take a few minutes to text you back when they know it is important to you. I am going to San Diego next week to send him off. I can't wait to see his ship and where he works.

Comment by Angie on May 6, 2015 at 6:50am: Hi I'm new to the group. My son is in A school in San Diego. How often can we expect to hear from our Sailor? He just started school 5-4. Thank you!

Comment by pandabugz SD Essex on March 21, 2015 at 1:04am: They just take out all bah. You should look into the Lincoln military housing fb page and their website. It has all the info on there. The fb page has pics

Comment by gbfuturewife on March 21, 2015 at 12:57am: Okay! And oh good. That sounds nice!! Just nervous a little bit! What all comes like amenities wise and how does the rent work with BAH?

Comment by pandabugz SD Essex on March 21, 2015 at 12:41am: Afton is pretty safe. Just search it cause I can't find a link. I live in a 2bdrm and its nice, pretty big. I think out of all the housings, Serra Mesa is the safest and we have the the most amenities compared to any other. You'll live right next to 2 parks

Comment by gbfuturewife on March 21, 2015 at 12:26am: @pandabugz we got a house on afton sreet? like right across from the nex it shows on google maps. I am nervous not knowing what the house looks like and everything before we move but my wife is deployed so everything has been kind of crazy! I have one year old, so I want to make sure its going to be safe for just me and her for awhile! Are the 2 bedrooms nice inside? and can you give me the link to the FB page?
