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 cindyb on May 13, 2015 at 12:53am: I hear you BlancheMarie, that is exactly how I feel too. ...I can breathe again. It was stressful waiting for that phone call. Just got the suitcases packed. Ready to head to Charleston! Congrats on your son too. =)

Comment by SUNSHINE5 on April 19, 2015 at 9:44pm: Hi BoyWonderMom,
Thank you for your comment. Our saillor shipped out from GL to GC threes days ago. Paper work was processed within a weeks time. Like TJ Ptoudnukemom said "On to the next part of his adventure."

Comment by rhinosmom on April 19, 2015 at 9:25pm: My son arrived at GC yesterday.

Comment by TJ Proudnavymom on April 13, 2015 at 11:48am: Well my son made it to GC. On to the next part of "our" adventure.

Comment by BoyWonderMom on April 12, 2015 at 10:30am: Sunshine5, my sailor PIR'd June 7 2013 and stayed in GL waiting for a waiver for 17 days. His paper work was done quickly but the doc to approve was on leave. It usually takes a week or so.
Congrats to every sailor graduating!

Comment by SUNSHINE5 on April 12, 2015 at 9:41am: Dinky(1404GCprototype) - Yes, after PIR he was to ship out to Charleston. But was told he was staying put until his medical waiver came through. He is still in the GLs working as a yeoman waiting for his waiver. Thank you for your post. Happy to hear it was a quick turn around for your sailor.

Comment by Dink(Vinson) on April 11, 2015 at 9:41pm: Sunshine5- if you're talking about after PIR, it took about a week for my Sailor's waiver to come through.

Comment by Rachel on April 11, 2015 at 5:37pm: I am looking for wives who live with their husband through nuke school to find there experience and any advice they have please message me or add me!! i am really needing some info. :) thanks ladies you guys are awesome!

Comment by SUNSHINE5 on April 5, 2015 at 6:17pm: "Hello, Wondering if anyone is familiar with how the medical waiver process works or how long it takes. Graduation was 4/3/15. Our sailor has been cleared for transfer by basic training medical staff but now need waiver from A school in order to transfer. Does anyone know how long this can take? Or what our sailor can do to help expedite the process?" Thank you and Happy Easter all!
