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 CheriH on September 1, 2015 at 11:12am: jamiess...glad he made it through! I know they are training them and want to make sure they are alright, but it's still hard to hear about it all!

Comment by jamielss on September 1, 2015 at 10:50am: Lol! I wish I had thought of that!

Comment by Quilter on August 31, 2015 at 10:50pm: Congrats jamiess, on your son's completion of SERE, I told my DS please don't tell me when you go through SERE!! I think he still has a while before doing that!!

Comment by proudmom on August 30, 2015 at 10:40am: CherH...Sandy Springs is nice...you're close to everything. I will definitely go to the airshow in March if my DS is in Corpus.

Comment by jamielss on August 30, 2015 at 10:01am: And I meant to say he got there thru the Meridian and corpus pipeline. We're in Houston so he was never too far. But will now be in Norfolk.

Comment by jamielss on August 30, 2015 at 9:59am: DS just finished SERE and came through tired and hungry! I am so glad that's over. Think it matured him a little. Gave him confidence in himself.

Comment by CheriH on August 30, 2015 at 9:47am: proudmom...I'm in Sandy Springs. Just starting to explore the area. If your DS gets to Corpus, make sure you make it down for the Blue Angels show in March. Each year it is in either Corpus or Kingsville. Our DS was in Kingsville for Advanced and it was wonderful to see his world with so much going on.

Comment by proudmom on August 30, 2015 at 9:11am: CheriH...Thanks for the info. Before Austin, I lived 16 years in Alpharetta. Where are you in Atlanta?

Comment by CheriH on August 30, 2015 at 8:34am: Welcome proudmom. My DS is in Lemoore, CA. I just moved to Atlanta from Dallas, TX. There is a Texas Moms page that has several subgroups and I know that there is a group that has met in the Austin area for lunch. You can find that page and post there. I don't know how often they meet. This page will give you lots of information about the flight training process...read back through the discussions and also post any questions you have. These ladies (and one dad) are very helpful and supportive!
