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 Momoftwo on May 15, 2017 at 11:21am: NavyMom2424, I believe when my son was there last year he had a friend in LS "A" school that had her own car. Not sure if this helps?

Comment by NavyMom2424 on May 14, 2017 at 3:47pm: Does anyone know if the Meridian MS Logistics School allows private vehicles or if it is even recommended?

Comment by Ellek73 on May 2, 2017 at 8:24pm: My boyfriend is LS and as of right now he will be in CA next! :)

Comment by jdrs1606 on May 2, 2017 at 2:31pm: NewNavyWife - LS; my son is an LS and he went to Mississippi for training and is attached to an EOD unit in Borfolk VA. He will be stationed next in Korea.

Comment by newnavywife on May 2, 2017 at 1:43pm: Hey guys! I'm new to this group. My husband leaves for boot camp in 3 weeks and will be a LS.

Just wondering what stations your LS' ended up at for their first duty station! I want to get an idea of what places they go.

We are really hoping for CA or WA.

Comment by CarolP on February 10, 2016 at 9:06pm: Hi! They can pick stateside or overseas!
Mine got Japan on an aircraft carrier! Loves it. Spends half time on shore at half at sea.

Comment by beautzer on February 10, 2016 at 11:43am: Good morning!! My son is at his A school - he just started this week - PIR was last Friday. Do they have a choice of ship, sub, or shore? I am getting a little nervous reading the sub comments. I know he really wanted to do shore and ship. Thank you

Comment by van1612 on October 30, 2015 at 11:21pm: Hi, my sailor just got reared to logistic specialist but there's hardly any information about the training and time frames online. Can anyone guide me tk the relevant places to read up on it? We're a little worried since our sailor doesn't tell us much too.
