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."

Hey there I have a quick question.. My husband just started A school. I'm trying to figure out how long into the school do they get orders for their next duty station??

Hi Proud Mama - my son is also graduating 10/7.   He is still awaiting orders and was told he should find out by today but still no word.

qhesskygirl(SECF),  Do you know the name of your son's class.  My son is in the Anchor Fish class and will graduate Oct. 7th.  The classes graduate every two weeks.  The Diablo class graduates this Friday the 23rd.

My boyfriend is going to Groton for A school that is 17 weeks. On his contract that I have here with me it says that for C school he could just stay there in Groton for another 17 weeks or to Kings Bay for 7 weeks. When will we find out everything about schools. His PIR is 10-28. If he stays in Groton for the whole time can we move up there to be with him?

Thanks... so frustrating when I need to plan and take time off work.

My son doesn't know for sure when BESS graduation is. How do you find out for sure as I would like to go!  Is there a web site that has a schedule and what we need to do like RTC?
Comment by Diana (Proud Navy Mom) on September 20, 2011 at 3:59pm
Hi, new here.  My son is in BC and his PIR is 10-28.  He will be going to Groton for sub school for STS.  Sounds like most of the guys like it there, huh?  Do they provide lunch and dinner or breakfast and lunch?

We live in the NC mountains so we know all about that cold, wet, heavy snow that they will get in CT. WE lived out west for about 15 yrs. that snow was awesome, dry fluff that just blew away due to no humidity.
