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."

this info is from a post from another mom:

First thing you have to put out of your head is College, or high school grading system. In A

school or Power School anything below a 2.5 is a failing grade. Each has "units" some are longer

than others, if you fail a test during that unit, you will be place on mandatory hours but can still

pass that unit with other passing grades and the unit test. Points needed to grad Power

School is 5000. That also involves your Personal Inspections, room inspections, personal fitness,

never getting in trouble ets. They do not use a 4 point system. To the Navy, they are being paid to

do a job, their job is to learn. With the current issues with Prototype they are going to be under

much more pressure. These kids are handed info fast and furious and they are under extreme

pressure from the Navy and their shipmates.

It doesn’t matter how many tests you fail as long as you pass the course. 2 failed

courses and you have something called AC board. Which you have to show your knowledge to

the instructors. If you fail three courses you automatically fail Power School.
