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 navyarmymom on December 10, 2011 at 7:37pm: I couldn't pick--so I just say I'm a winner either way (diplomatic, huh!). Although my Navy son says that since he is my favorite, I should be cheering for Navy. Anyway, the game is over now and Navy won---so congrats to Navy!

Comment by Swims on November 23, 2011 at 1:27pm: Thanks navyarmy and yes, Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

Comment by navyarmymom on November 23, 2011 at 12:06pm: Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. Whether everyone can be with their loved ones or not, I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Comment by Aussiesmom on November 13, 2011 at 10:42pm: Thank you for replying pench. My son did get a flight from SD yesterday. It was just so down to the wire, I wasn't sure if he would. If he didn't make it into this class, I was trying to estimate how much longer he would be in California. He is coming from SEAL training and is eager to begin his new path. I've watched a few episodes of "Bomb Patrol, Afghanistan" trying to get a feel for what he will be doing. I had been preparing for all of the stages of SEAL training, and sort of knew what to expect. I have a lot to learn about EOD training. It is encouraging to hear that your son Loves it!!

Comment by pench on November 13, 2011 at 7:53pm: just checking in good Ideas on the camera's can't get my son to tell me what he wants lol. he is still doing great and best of all HE LOVES IT!!!!! that is all we can ask for. two divisions down and 8 more to go in this location so glad they train them so well. hope everyone is doing well and your sailors are safe and happy

Comment by pench on November 13, 2011 at 7:43pm: I think they class up every 4 weeks dont hold me to it though :) also with the holidays fast approaching it may be longer.

Comment by Aussiesmom on November 11, 2011 at 9:25am: Does anyone know how often they class up? I have a son who has a contract but is awaiting orders to G.L. for training. I've heard there is a class beginning next week, but obviously he won't make it to G.L., so he will most likely be holding until the next class.

Comment by Swims on October 29, 2011 at 10:19pm: Welcome Ashley! My son is in class 12-10, as you know ;-).

Comment by AshleyB fromSD on October 29, 2011 at 9:40pm: Hello everyone, I'm Ashley and my husband is in class 12-10. Anyone else have someone in that group?

Comment by Swims on October 17, 2011 at 3:26pm: I don't know where to respond to Becky's note to all the members of EOD, so I guess I'll just do it here.... ? (Don't know which Becky you are :-) I posted in the discussion forum above the OpSec rules that are posted on the BUD/s pages and on the SEALs page as it applies to us all. I do know that we aren't to mention any dates, specific locations or names on any public forum and this EOD page is public, but I'm sure I am by far not the most experienced or in the know person here, so any of those who know more please let us all know the scoop. Thanks!
