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 Desiree on April 16, 2016 at 2:50pm: USNwifeIL they began the phasing up process the second they get there. =) it goes by fast, he will have liberties in no time, just so long as hes always on time, and where hes suppose to be at all times.

Comment by bbcregular on March 28, 2016 at 1:44am: Shelby, the items he took to DLI can be used personally. They will be issued MacBooks and iPads with all the needed software for doing the research and projects.
Keep in mind he will have much better communication with you but the majority of his time will be spent studying. Congrats to you and your CTI2B.

Comment by Shelby on March 27, 2016 at 9:06pm: Hi! How does technology work once they get to DLI? He took his computer, kindle and cell phone after basic. Just wondering if he gets to keep these things or if they take them and he earns them back/gets them over time. Thanks!

Comment by elliluvs on March 24, 2016 at 9:58am: there is no c school, only F school. F school is located at permanent duty station for the time being. The 64 weeks is an estimate of how long the actual course is and does not take into consideration hold time prior to class, holidays, class break, or possible hold time after graduation for clearance issues or medical issues. It also doesn't take into consideration that some students get rolled back to a newer class if they show potential but are struggling. For a normal 64 week class expect him to be there for a little less than a year and half.

Comment by Lisa (A-Mac's mom) on March 16, 2016 at 2:52pm: Unaccompanied just means the Navy isn't going to pay for your PCS travel. They can't keep you from going. Just know it would be on your dime, not the Navy's. And I wouldn't worry about any of that right now. You're a long ways off from that. Depending on what language he has, he's got a long road ahead and school. Things are constantly changing based on the needs of the Navy. So even if they're discouraging accompanied PCSs now doesn't mean it will be the same way a year to two years from now when he'll actually be making the move to his first duty station.

Comment by JHubby on March 16, 2016 at 2:50pm: Not true...HI is a permanent duty station, so you're good. BTW, I lived with my wife as an E2 at DLI. Only had to wait for her to phase up (4 weeks) when she got here from RTC.

Comment by Lisa (A-Mac's mom) on March 16, 2016 at 2:43pm: He should be frocked E-4 for graduation. Then he's eligible to take the E-5 test the next time around. Once he makes E-5, he has to be E-5 for two years before he can take the E-6 test. I am not sure what you mean by "could make things interesting" if he's not E-4, but if you're talking about living off base and such, married sailors do not follow those same rules. My husband and lived together when he was an E-3. He didn't have the same liberty restrictions, etc., as the single sailors.

Comment by JHubby on March 16, 2016 at 2:39pm: Automatic E4 when they get to the duty station!

Comment by JHubby on March 16, 2016 at 2:35pm: Generally Middle Eastern -> GA, Asian -> HI, Others -> DC or TX.

Comment by elliluvs on March 4, 2016 at 4:27pm: he won't know about aircrew until about a month or two before he graduates DLI. So no worries on that then!
