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."

Karen: My son completed his sonar training in San Diego. I'd be happy to answer any and all questions.... :) If you're comfortable talking via phone, let me know.

His A school ended right before Christmas, and YES we were lucky he got to come home for a week, before starting ops.
Comment by Melissa (Tucson) on April 20, 2009 at 8:37pm
My son took 10 days leave between A and ops and came home.

Hi Ladies,

A school for my son was 9 weeks. Then he went to OPs which was 6 weeks. He did not do C school, he went directly from OPs to his ship. From what I understand C school can be up to 6 months.

Holds are a normal life in the Navy. Some are for security clearances, some are because they don't have enough sailors to start a new class. While on hold they will keep him busy doing lots of other things. Tell him to hang in there, because once he gets to San Diego he will LOVE it!!

These are discussions that members on here have had about the Lake Chammplain. If you click on the blue links, it will take you to the member's page and you can ask further questions. Hope this helps, if it doesn't give me a holler. I'm always here :)

Ava - He will get his orders for his final duty station (base/ship) before the end of A school. I don't have a comparison for ATT & Techno, I know my son is busy everyday.
Comment by Dianne on March 26, 2009 at 2:07pm
I don't believe they have a sonar tech on the amphibious ship.
