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."

A School for DC

Started this discussion. Last reply by ConnieA May 15, 2013. 7 Replies

The pictures on face book showed only a few graduates. Are the classes for DC usually small? I was wondering if there were more sailors in the class who had not phased up yet?Continue

Hey Connie, that's wonderful! I hear that there's a great crew on the Sammy B! My son Garrett and I are both pleased that he was assigned to a smaller ship. Your sailor is blessed to have such a supportive Grandmother!

Hi Connie! Thanks for the email! I got my user name changed!! We do have ATT, I will do the messaging. The information you provided was very beneficial! I'm so glad I found this page!

That is great news!!! I am glad I could help. Take care and blessings to you and yours.

You can contact the Photo Lab at Great Lakes at 847-578-6205 and let them know what has happened and see if they can help. We have been told that they only print up the number that are ordered PIR weekend or before, but it is worth a try.

That's great !!!! I hope he enjoys being a DC . I know my son likes it. I don't hear from him much he's been kept busy and stays in contact with his friends although every now and then he remembers he has a mama lol.

Hey there.  My contact at A School talked to one of the mgrs there.  He was wondering if you know for sure which Subway it was...there are a couple.  Also, day/time your sailor was there and if he knew what the employee looked like.  He just wants to make sure that the employee recognizes a giftcard next time.  Just let me know if you get any more info from your new sailor!  Congrats, by the way!

At 9:14pm on April 9, 2013, diannep said…

Haven't forgotten you.  My contact at A School said that the card should have worked.  The employee may not have realized it was a giftcard which is like cash---maybe thought it was a discount card.  She is going to call Subway tomorrow and let them know there was a problem and to please make sure their employees know about the giftcards. 

At 2:45pm on April 9, 2013, lemonelephant said…

I'm sorry that didn't work for your Sailor. That's the first I've heard that a Subway card does not work on base. Others have sent cards and never mentioned a problem.

At 9:56am on April 9, 2013, diannep said…

I have a contact at A School base.  I will message her and ask about that.

HI Connie. So nice to see a Grandmother representing :) We will not be up until Thursday evening, driving up from Cincinnati. Wish we could be up sooner to attend the Meet and Greets. Hopefully will be able to meet everyone when we are at the PIR. We should all wear N4M nametags, hahaha!
