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 Mama Bear on March 13, 2011 at 2:01am: angelkup- Thank you very much. Can I ask you if there is a graduation for A school? Our son want us to go if there is one. So far I have not been able to get info on a graduation. Thank you.

Comment by angelkup ship 14 div 276 on March 13, 2011 at 1:29am: Mama Bear. My son just finished up in Dec. Unfortunately I can't get a hold of him, but I will ask him if he has any tips when I talk to him.

Comment by Mama Bear on March 13, 2011 at 12:55am: Our son is in A school for EN. He is having a hard time with the BECC. Any tips would be helpful. Thanks.

Comment by angelkup ship 14 div 276 on March 12, 2011 at 1:20am: Hi, my son Austin is an EN. He went to A-school in Great Lakes. I don't know if they have that class anywhere else though. He is now in San Diego and loves it!! I'll stop back and chat more and get to know some of you better. Austin had PIR last August, so I know how some of you are feeling. If I can help or just listen I will>

Comment by DebBon / Ship7 Div 052 on March 8, 2011 at 11:20pm: Ok so can anyone answer a question.... My son is job rate EN and I was just wondering where they go from A school? I don't know what his orders will be just that I am curious where he might be going. I ask him and he said he doesn't know yet, so I thought I would ask some of the veteran A schoolers here. Can anyone help?

Comment by Mama Bear on February 21, 2011 at 1:25pm: Hello All,

Our son's PIR was on 2/4/11. He is at GL for EN A school. I would love to get to know more about what he is doing and I would love to meet others and share info.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Comment by Riptide11/128 on February 18, 2011 at 8:35pm: Hi All,

I joined this group to learn more about what my son will be doing in the Navy. He is only 9 days into bootcamps, but he will be attending A and (I believe) C school in GL, training for HT-ATF. It would be nice to know what he's talking about when he's finally able to commicate home on a regular basis! LOL
