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 jbr0001-USS Harry Truman-VAQ 130 on March 30, 2012 at 4:29pm: @katheeh- Did you also join the A-School for GL?

Comment by kish97 on March 29, 2012 at 9:10pm: I also want to add that although I have never posted before, I come to this forum every day to see what other Moms are saying. Thank you, Brenda Sue, for creating this.

Comment by kish97 on March 29, 2012 at 8:46pm: My son is graduating from A school in Pensacola April 17. We were able to get to the Great Lakes bootcamp graduation in November, but cannot make it to this one. :(. He is in the traffic control program. Not seeking any personal information, but if any on this site will be attending, please let me know so I can ask you take a photo or two.

Comment by jbr0001-USS Harry Truman-VAQ 130 on March 29, 2012 at 7:44pm: @DODiva- I worked at the airport in FT Walton at Northwest Airlines now Delta nice area and PNS is too

Comment by Katheeh (07/129 PIR 04/27/2012) on March 29, 2012 at 5:58pm: DODiva, your SR is lucky to have family so close. We all live in California so my SR will be there all by himself. I'm keeping an eye on airfares so I can book a few extra trips back to see him (when his time permits). He will be in GL for a while for A School.

Comment by jbr0001-USS Harry Truman-VAQ 130 on March 29, 2012 at 11:57am: Welcome Katheeh

Comment by Katheeh (07/129 PIR 04/27/2012) on March 29, 2012 at 11:56am: Hi Everyone, I'm new to this group. My SR will be staying on at Great Lakes for A School (he's AECF). Any advice you can provide about A School is much appreciated. Thank you!
