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 Suzi-OH on July 27, 2011 at 3:30pm: Jeffsmom - E-3 is a rank.....a rate represents a job.

My son is Aircrew Avionics and his rate is AWN(AN). His rank is E-3 at the moment.

Comment by Jeffsmom1380 on July 27, 2011 at 3:17pm: What group is an E3 rating?

Comment by Navymompam on July 27, 2011 at 8:33am: My son will be at A school in San Antonio after boot camp. Can anyone tell me if I go there for a week, will we be able to spend any time visiting? I don't know how much, if any, liberty they get or if they can leave the base. Thanks

Comment by Lovemynavyson (Ship02/DIV933) on July 24, 2011 at 5:02pm: LOL Josh's aunt --- My son seems to have the same crippling disease!!

Comment by My Bernie Ship 3 Division 222 on July 23, 2011 at 3:23pm: Hey my son is waiting to class up for jet engines and turbines . He is in BKS B in pensacola fla. chevalier field. Anyone else???

Comment by josh'saunt (Patricia) on July 22, 2011 at 10:53pm: Caught him on Facebook without even calling me! LOL. At least I got a quick hello and a mailing address finally. I have to remember not to get too mushy with him when we talk! Any suggestions on a care package? What are rooming conditions like in San Diego? I thought about sending one of those collage pictures but not sure if he'd have a place to put it.

Comment by Lovemynavyson (Ship02/DIV933) on July 22, 2011 at 6:18pm: Hey Riptide...That's military life...everything up in the air...we want to schedule a party for my son is home between school and duty station, but it has changed sooooooooooo many times! 3-4 weeks, to 2 weeks, to 4 weeks to now maybe 6 weeks...but he hasn't started school and he's been there almost 3 weeks now!!!

Comment by josh'saunt (Patricia) on July 22, 2011 at 5:50pm: My nephew's PIR was 7/15 and is now in "A" school in San Diego. He called when he first got there and said he was safe and bought a new phone....apparently he has forgotten how to call/text since then. It sure was great to see him though.
