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 Connie(Memphis Belle) on January 17, 2011 at 11:59am: technically he started I strand on the 3rd is my understanding but they had no instructor until last monday the 10th. his instructor is a retired senior chief (i think he said) in his 70's and the instructor's last assignment was at Millington not far from our home. i believe Marine_navy's girl might have had the same instructor. there are 24 in his class with one marine-girl. this is all i know. i think there are other classes of I strand going on at the same time.

my Sailor Son has not mentioned any thing about 'what is next' and i remembered that Marine_navy's girl didn't know anything until after A school and until she got her orders and she waited a while for those to pop/drop whatever the term is.

maybe your girl has some 'inside knowledge' which would make sense to me....there seems to be not a lot of consistency in any rate on how things go exactly for each Sailor.

Comment by Connie(Memphis Belle) on January 16, 2011 at 10:50pm: ca-ching...$140.00 big bucks for Joyce's Sailor!!!

my Sailor still doing his thing in A school : )

Mommy-your daughter already knows where she is going next? i missed a lot last week.

Comment by joyce on January 16, 2011 at 4:11pm: Well spk to chris this morn. Turns out he does know and go to the casinos. He happend to be there last night for the second time. He won 140 on the penney slots. He said they like to go there because as long as they are on the slots they drink for free (always working the angles) He said last time they went he only lost 10 dollars so he feels he is doing ok. Told him to watch out. Will he listen? who knows.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on January 15, 2011 at 2:44pm: marine navy mom, what a great idea!

joyce, sounds like your sailor is doing well.

thanks for all the congrats for my son and the tip about Biloxi. My sil is from Pascagoula, MS, so if he ends up in C school there, I'm sure she will give him all the dirt on Biloxi. lol She's his godmother and like a 2nd mom to him, so knowing her, she might even get some spies out there to check on him, if he goes there. LOL

Comment by joyce on January 15, 2011 at 2:33pm: adopting a school sounds great. I will have to ask Chris about it. He was on duty last night. Will speak to him tommorrow. Said something about a bar tonight. Always busy LOL

Comment by joyce on January 15, 2011 at 10:59am: my son is in Biloxi, I havent heard about the casinos yet. He supposedly is saving for a car. He wants one for when he is in VA so he can occasionally come home.

C school has been going well for him. He loves night classes.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on January 13, 2011 at 5:13pm: Thanks ladies. I'm just glad that he won't be spending as much time gaming now. lol

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on January 13, 2011 at 3:08pm: My son is pretty happy today because he found out that he will start ATT classes tomorrow. He is a "day sleeper" which suits him just fine. lol He said his class is from 1500 to 2300. He also volunteered to be the class leader.

Comment by Susan mom to Niko on January 13, 2011 at 2:40pm: It all depends on the 'platform' they are being trained for where they go for C school... if Lemoore then you can bet it is for the Growlers or Prowlers...
