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 phoebe stg2 on March 7, 2011 at 9:53am: Nanny2, I know your son will be missed. The group hangs out a lot at the beach to play volley ball. LOL. Not the military my huband knew. Good luck to your son!

Comment by nanny2 on March 7, 2011 at 2:18am: Hi Denise. Congrats to you & your son. My son will graduate on Wed., wish I could be there. Can't tell you much about school, every time I ask he tells me it's awesome & it's top secret.LOL My son is in the reserves so he will be flying home on thursday, he is sad to be leaving San Diego, he loves it there. Can't much blame him there, San Diego or Ky, where today it seems winter is trying to come back. Graduation is awesome, I bet you can't wait.

Comment by txsailorsam-Donna on January 29, 2011 at 11:50am: My son graduates A-school in SD Wed. We know what's next ... hold probably until he gets orders. I am flying out to see him on the 10th. Somehow he got the impression no one could attend this graduation. He found out 2 days ago we could have. I am so looking forward to seeing him. His Christmas leave visit was hampered by the death of my dad. He was in Houston... I was in Md. I did get to spend 4 days of his 11 off with him.

Comment by Sparkle_Mary on January 28, 2011 at 12:57pm: Quick question... my husband is thinking about changing from 4 yr to 6 yr... and we were wondering if he does and his school is 1 yr long.. if we would get orders to move me out there or I would have to move myself. Wondered if anyone has been through this situation and knows the answer.

Comment by christina_waits on January 10, 2011 at 1:15pm: Hello all! My husband is STG coming from CG in DC. He's in GL right now, then off to SD... can't wait to find out what his permanent duty station will be so I can join him!

Comment by nanny2 on January 3, 2011 at 10:21pm: Hello, My son arrived in SD this afternoon. He has already sent me a text saying he never wants to leave.LOL It was only 22 this morning here at home when he left, I wish I was there myself. LOL

Comment by txsailorsam-Donna on December 2, 2010 at 9:02pm: My sailor is in week three of A School in SD. Hard week but he seems to be doing ok. He is still trying to decide 4 yr or 6yr then will determing the rest of his schooling.

Comment by phoebe stg2 on December 1, 2010 at 10:49am: Good Morning Mary, Yes my S said that if sounds like he will be in GL for three weeks and on to SD after that. Good Luck making plans....

Comment by Sparkle_Mary on December 1, 2010 at 1:44am: So J has wrote me a letter saying his A school is 12 weeks long. He said he will go back to GL to do a course there that is 3 weeks long then to SanDiego to do the 9 week course. That is the word as of this week. Anyone else do this?

Comment by Sparkle_Mary on November 25, 2010 at 1:35pm: So frustrating. I want to vent. First we were told J was going to SD for A school. Then it was GL. Then it went back to SD. And Sunday I recieved confirmation from the airline that he bought his ticket from home to A school since he will be home for Christmas. Now it's GL again. I am not believing anything til what I hear at graduation. I don't understand why they are changing it around sooo much.
