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."

Hello

It has been a long time since I have posted and I am sorry. I hope everyone has been able to connect with others in the PACT program. My son is now 3 and a half years in and it has been a great experience. He thought he wanted to be an AM. When he got on the ship, he was put with the AO’s. Now he is an AD3. It was best for him to start PACT because we didn’t know much about the Navy and he wasn’t sure what he wanted to do. This has been a good route for him.

Comment by splash on November 13, 2014 at 7:33pm: Michael's mom. My daughter sent me a copy of her dream sheet and her requests. I hope she gets her first choice. I am going to Sarge's met and greet. I have to pick up my other daughter and her husband at the Milwaukee airport and then we will be there. I will have my 2 sons with as well. I will PM you my name. Is your son going to Pensacola after PIR?

Comment by BeachBunny on November 13, 2014 at 12:14pm: Good Morn ladies..

I've been following this group after I saw an explosive post on the other "group"...glad you ladies are here for each other.....there is a Pcola group and we've had plenty of A Pact sailors train there, in fact my sailors roommate in Pcola was a pact, they ran into each other on a carrier a year later....and his best buddy is a "bud dud", was special ops had to drop out and is on A pact on his squadron, working on aviation quals.

I recall a post on this group about sailors picking orders, which is true for A school students that finish "top" of their class, the top 3 do get to pick orders, my sailor was one of them.

If any of you have a sailor going to Pensacola for training after BC, we’d love to have you join the Pcola group, lots of information on the 700+ training courses there, join us at
