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."

Hey my husband is a corpsman too..He asked me to look into the A school b /c he said that people are saying the A school in San Antonio is going to be longer than 14weeks... Did your husband mention anything about that? Ive read if the A school is longer than 20weeks the Navy will move the family where they are but he's hearing its 19weeks?!?..

If you look on your ID DEERS application you should see your eligibility dates at the bottom. Mine started the day he left for basic training.
