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 Anti M on April 20, 2015 at 6:48am: There are a ton of groups for individual schools, and several for nuke moms.

Comment by momof3boys on April 12, 2015 at 6:43pm: My son just graduated BC this weekend, and quickly headed off to S.C. for A school. Are there specific groups for moms depending on which A school their kids are in? The support from other Navy Moms has gotten me through to this point. I feel blessed to have found this support forum!

Comment by Barbara on April 7, 2015 at 6:59am: Anyone have any news/comments/information/pictures about class 075 Fort Sam Houston, Texas? They are graduating April 30th. They are so very close to their goal and their amazing future.

Comment by sockmonkeymom on April 1, 2015 at 9:08pm: My son just graduated boot camp on 3/17 and is going to A school at Great Lakes. Anyone else with family at Great Lakes A school?

Comment by hishippygirl on February 26, 2015 at 10:48am: It depends mostly on how much storage space they have at A school and how strict their commanding officers are. They start A school in phase one. No civilian clothes in public, etc. Once they phase up which only takes a couple of weeks , they get more privileges. My son has lots of civilian clothes with him and some other personal items also, like a quilt I made him. But he has space to lock it all up when he isn't in his room. Your sailors will know the rules and how much space they can use.

Comment by tori'smom on February 26, 2015 at 9:21am: Hi Ladies :) I came on to ask the same question- what can they take to A school. I know it's only phone, computer, ipad but not clothes. However, I thought I read somewhere that they need to take underwear (or am I mistaken). Thanks :)

Comment by royalbrit on January 19, 2015 at 12:32pm: my son just arrived in A school Pensicola, what are we allowed to send down to them, he is asking for a list of things.

Comment by nancyjane on January 15, 2015 at 8:06pm: I have a son graduating sometime around there. He didn't know the actual date. He is a E T. He says he won't know where he will go until he gets his orders.
