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 justinmom on June 1, 2011 at 9:04am: My son graduated from boot camp on April 29 and has been waiting to class up since then. He is pretty bored right now. Says not much to do except "watch duty" and cleaning barracks. I heard it could take up to 4 months to class up for A school. He is trying to get volunteer work just to do something but said it is pretty unorganized there. He also said internet service there in Pensacola is horrible and they have no TV in their room.

Comment by Brittany proud Navy Wife :) on May 24, 2011 at 9:13pm: Hubby was made Barrack Support Leader today! Go Hubby!!!

Comment by DadInValley (SHIP 07 DIV 056) on May 23, 2011 at 7:47pm: My son started A school (after finishing NATTC)...and then will head to Whidbey Island for duty!!

Comment by Z's girl on May 17, 2011 at 11:12am: That is awesome! Thanks for the information. I'm so clueless on everything Im trying to take in all the information I can! I can't wait for him to get to Pensacola so I can at least talk to him on a daily basis.

Comment by Bobbi Ray on May 13, 2011 at 3:08pm: Cindy- congrats to you and to you Sailor.

Comment by Cindy (Ship 11 Div 064) on May 13, 2011 at 2:49pm: My son said he just graduated from ATT. New AE Strand! Anchors Aweigh!! So Happy!

Comment by Brittany proud Navy Wife :) on May 12, 2011 at 10:52pm: OOO but they can put in chits for phase three liberty weekends! just in case you want to go visit him! They are having a 5day weekend basically on memorial day so he put in the chit and gets to spend it with me at the navy gateway inn!

Comment by Brittany proud Navy Wife :) on May 12, 2011 at 10:51pm: Also I saw u asked about phasing up on the other bored. When he gets there he will have to become "watch qualified". He will have to do watch qual's then take a written and oral test. They are given a week or so to do that. To phase up to phase two takes two weeks (hubby gets his sunday! wohoo) Those that didnt get watch qualified in time but arrived with him arent getting to phase up! But NAS is pretty cool he can have his phone right away! Hubby had his since grad weekend! Its so nice to be able to talk and text all day after so little communication from bootcamp. Im not sure how long it takes to get to phase 3, hubby is going to be a brown bagger so he wont have to go thru that. He said normally takes about 3wks tho

Comment by Brittany proud Navy Wife :) on May 12, 2011 at 10:42pm: Z's girl - my hubby is there now. He grad april 29th from Bootcamp. When he first got there he was told the wait was 3months. since then its changed and the longest hes been told he should be there is 4months total. Its kinda u dont know till ur there, and then u still dont know for sure.

Also AE isnt guaranteed C school, it depends on what type of plane or helicopter the end up specializing in.
