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 Reid's Ma on October 9, 2012 at 4:52pm: I'm guessing that the proficiency test?

Comment by Reid's Ma on October 9, 2012 at 4:50pm: Noni, no they are not in the same class or language. Reid starts Thurs. Oct. 11th. He's 40; beginning his 8th year and will no doubt be in class with mostly kids half his age. I'm still not comfortable with saying what language, since you never know about security.

Comment by bizzy on October 9, 2012 at 4:44pm: My husband is taking the dlpt today and tomorrow! It seems like its taken forever to get to this point, but now I'm really nervous for him. Wish him good thoughts!

Comment by Noni on October 9, 2012 at 3:46pm: Reid'sMa,

I talked to my son yesterday. He thought your son might be in the large class ahead of his, but maybe not. Marcus's class has been reviewing English so far. The Persian Farsi basics start tomorrow. My son has said the same as yours - most students are fresh from BC & being treated the same is frustrating, especially considering where he came from. Oh well, the 'fun' begins tomorrow.

Comment by Reid's Ma on October 3, 2012 at 10:03am: he classes up Oct 11 finally. he's bored fending off spiders in his apt.

Noni, I think your returnee and mine are in same language. Since he had to pass physical and reenlist, he couldn't begin a class the next day. paperwork takes time....

Comment by KC'smom on October 2, 2012 at 9:07pm: My brand new CTI is at the Naval Aviation School at Pensacola for part of his training for Aircrew. When he 1st arrived on Sat. they gave him a terrible time and yelled at him for everything and sent him to a dorm for asking a question. Now that his class started yesterday, he is allowed to stay in a hotel room! (yes, with a maid). It's on base. That means no room inspections and no roomates. My poor boy has been in nothing but a hard bunk with someone underneath him for 18 months. I'm so happy for him!! Sadly, this school is only 4 weeks and then he moves on to "torture school".

Comment by Lisa (A-Mac's mom) on September 25, 2012 at 11:47pm: Welcome to all the "new" moms. I've been a little busy lately. So I haven't had much of a chance to visit this site and keep up with who recently got to Monterey. My guy has been there for almost a year now. So if you have any questions that I might be able to help you with, ask away. I can't promise I'll have the answer, but I'll try my best to find it.

Comment by Reid's Ma on September 25, 2012 at 11:39pm: right now there are about 35 sailors on hold (not classed up) and the powers that be made them all come out for Reid's reenlistment last Wed. He said it was a bit embarrassing! Can't wait to see what language they put him in. Nothing's final till the day!

Comment by SarahsMom(Ship03/Div176) on September 25, 2012 at 10:11pm: Reidsma and Tammysue, it is very much driven by their language and when the class makes
