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 Karen on June 25, 2013 at 6:14pm: Hi all. My son's PIR was 6/21. He is now at A school in Wichita Falls, TX. Rate CE.

Comment by linda1963 on June 25, 2013 at 2:14pm: My son's PIR was 6/21 and his A school is in GL. We had Friday, Saturday and Sunday with him. If you have the time and the funds stay for the weekend!

Comment by jillymom on June 22, 2013 at 4:43pm: Our Sailor also stayed at GL. We didn't leave until Mon morning. He was free Friday from about 4-9 and all day Sat and Sun. It's possible they are given watch, but rare. They can't be late getting back. Have fun and bring his phone and whatever else he can carry around in case he has to move dorms while there. :)

My son's PIR in Great Lakes was Fri 5/31/13. He flew to Goose Creek on Sat. 6/1/13, so he just went through his first week there. I have talked with him 3 or 4 times. It is so nice to be able to talk with him often!!

So veteran moms, please fill me in with information about A school at Goose Creek.

Thanks!!

Comment by Sunita on May 24, 2013 at 11:41pm: hi everyone. my daughter daughter pir 5/10/13 and start OS classes this week.any information on OS??

Comment by KathybShip13Div099 on May 15, 2013 at 4:30pm: Drew graduates tomorrow from CM A school, Port Hueneme, CA. So proud of him. Reporting immediately to his duty station - Amphibious Construction Battalion One, Coronado, CA. I was so looking forward to having him home but I will have to wait another month. He wanted to be able to come home for his sisters wedding. Will be great to have the whole family home for that but sure makes for a long wait.

Does anybody have anyone in Coronado??

Comment by Sailor Boy J's Mom on May 15, 2013 at 4:15pm: Hi Everyone! My son just arrived at Monterey this past Sunday for A School. His PIR was on the 10th. The group I was in for his PIR date was so helpful, I'm hoping that this group will help me understand what my Sailor is doing in A school. Is there anyone else here with a Sailor in Monterey CA?
