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 mall'smom on September 5, 2014 at 1:10pm: New here with a daughter who just signed for this job and will leave after graduation July 14 for basic. Look forward to learning and helping where I can in this group.

Comment by Rusty14div273 on August 27, 2014 at 12:47am: @Raemac07
My son will be in Pensacola for AC after boot camp.

Comment by Raemac07 on August 17, 2014 at 6:52pm: My husband will go to Pensacola for AC a school after graduation. Are there any wives who's husband will do the same? And are you going to live there with him?

Comment by amos on August 1, 2014 at 5:24pm: Our son leaves for bc on sept 9th and then to AC school in Pensacola. We are from Washington state.

Comment by NavyWife09 Ship 3 Div 193 on July 27, 2013 at 10:47pm: ATTENTION Navy wives, fiances, and girlfriends going to Pensacola to be with their sailor for A-school: When I moved to Pensacola from Denver I just packed my car up with my dogs and as much stuff as I
could fit in the car. We are going to be stationed in San Diego, so I will be packing the car back up, but with even less room since my sailor is coming with me. I rented a couple pieces of
furniture but I am giving away all of the other household items I purchased while here including a desk and couch! If you're coming to Pensacola in a similar fashion and need some household goods PM me for
a long, full list of items I am giving away. You will need to come pick them up, but other than that, they're FREE! My husband graduates August 8th, so I will need you to come pick your stuff up on the 8th/9th!

Comment by cathymgShip03Div367&ship11Div383 on July 19, 2013 at 11:58pm: My son is going AC, but will just be starting BC in middle of August.

Comment by JL (Ship 12 DIV 85) on March 9, 2013 at 8:43pm: My boyfriend and his friends are still waiting to class up at A-School to start classes. Can anyone tell me how long their sailor had to wait before he started classes?

Comment by nana2b on February 26, 2013 at 8:27pm: Can anyone help me with directions from Interstate 10? Please, my grandson is graduating A-school this Friday, March 01 and I have no idea where to go in Pensacola or how to get there. Thanks.
