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 NavySpouse on January 7, 2012 at 8:48pm: Oh also, anyone have any info about a language/pronunciation test right off the bat? My husbands first language is Spanish and has a bit of an accent and was told they'd give him a "verbal test" of some sort....

Comment by NavySpouse on January 7, 2012 at 8:34pm: Hi everyone! My husband graduates BC next friday and then going for AC A school. Would really love to get some info from anyone about this school. We know it has a huge fail rate and is a tough school, any help is appreciated. Also looking for info on where to live/stay, etc. Planning on heading over there by end of the month. Thanks!!

Comment by towermom on January 4, 2012 at 11:45am: Calbransmommy - I know when my son came home over the holidays he said he graduates on January 30th and will be leaving that day for California. I was going to go down for his graduation and hoping to spend a couple days with him but he said he was told he would be leaving that day. If it changes I will let you know.
