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 Laurie B on August 27, 2012 at 9:46pm: @SandySea....I'm here! My son is still in BC, but will be going to Pensacola day after PIR October 6 (I think) and will be an AV; I'm looking forward to finding out what to expect from more experienced moms! He is supposed to be in Fla for about 6 months according to paperwork. I don't know the difference between AV, AE or other rates; it sounds like your son is going to have a great experience!

Comment by SandySea on August 25, 2012 at 10:41am: Is anyone here? Time for a roll call. I'll go first. My son is finishing A school in P'cola, will come home for 2 weeks, then is off to Whidbey Island where he will go to C school then work with a squadron there on the large aircraft that is land based. He is really looking forward to enjoying the great outdoors in the northwest.

Comment by SandySea on April 25, 2012 at 10:39pm: It's quiet in here! How is everyone? My sailor is still waiting to class up for AE. Been in Pensacola 5 weeks now. We are planning a visit there in June. I hope after all the waiting that he gets back in the habit of studying hard and does like his job in the end.

Comment by SandySea on March 11, 2012 at 10:18pm: OK, another question from the newbie--do AEs take the same AWAT and ATT training as the ATs before starting their AE classes or do they just go straight into AE classes?

Comment by SandySea on March 9, 2012 at 8:37pm: Jackie, how long was his training in Pensacola?

Comment by SandySea on March 9, 2012 at 7:57pm: Hello everyone. My son will be heading down to Pensacola for AE on March 17th. I am getting conflicting info about the length of schooling for AE. He was told he would graduate May 9th and is thinking he can come visit after that. That sounds very short compared to what I expected. Can someone with recent experience on this clue me in?

Comment by Lucky Davis on February 26, 2012 at 2:48pm: Hello Everybody, My son is now in Pensacola, FL

Comment by CDanielleR on February 8, 2012 at 10:58pm: Hi everyone! My bf just re-rated as an AE and he is currently in Pensacola. I look forward to chatting with you all. :)

Comment by pattyb on December 7, 2011 at 12:06pm: My son is in mayport now and will be working on the helicopter-he is so excited. he sitll has to do C school but that wont start until April. Oh well--he will have duty assignments until.
