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 HDragonfly42 on June 3, 2018 at 8:19am: My son leaves for BC in about a week. Then after he will be headed to Pensacola for Air Traffic Controller. I am sure I am driving my son nuts telling him all I am researching and what to expect, but helps put me at ease knowing. Excited, proud and of course worried that all you teach has sunk in...LOL.

Comment by TammyCodysMom on June 15, 2017 at 9:07pm: There was not a limit when my son graduated from there last July.

Comment by applepi on June 15, 2017 at 8:50pm: My Sailor will be graduating A school in Pensacola next month. Does anyone know if there's a limit on the number of people who may attend graduation?

Comment by applepi on June 7, 2017 at 9:15am: TrueBlue Amber There are several ships (barracks) at NAS Pensacola. There are some for the Marines, Air Force, and Navy. My son was in one for several weeks, then the whole barracks were moved to another one as the barracks changed from Navy to one of the other military branches. The sailors are in a room with three bunks and share a bathroom with another room. My son has only had one roommate and one headmate.

Comment by TrueBlue on June 6, 2017 at 10:14pm: Amber 3, he is in DEP currently and I'll be leaving for BC in August. A School in October, so a ways behind you.

What do you mean about housing? I thought that would be assigned to them at A school.
