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 Frances on June 27, 2016 at 5:05pm: Thank you so much BlueDiamond I will enjoy every minute I promise It will all be worth it and I want water it down because it will be just as important

Comment by bluediamond on June 27, 2016 at 1:14pm: Katheryn~ I agree with Frances... even if it only last 5 mins I would still be there, and maybe even more excited than the actual PIR because I would know the struggles and the tears and everything that comes with that dreaded call. it would be a celebration of victory also. thank you!!! and Frances Congrats to your sailor.

Comment by Frances on June 27, 2016 at 12:20pm: I got that Katheryn. I know that I will enjoy this because she missed the other Graduation I know that we will be just as excited as it were the Big Graduation.

Comment by Katheryn on June 27, 2016 at 12:02pm: Blue Diamond, It is true that the "A" school graduation is much smaller but for those of us with children in FIT it is a big moment! We went down to San Antonio to watch our daughters "A" school ceremony and I will remember that for the rest of my life. It was small but very important to her and us. Congratulations!!

Comment by lemonelephant on June 27, 2016 at 11:26am: kamme, the ceremony for graduating "A" School is nothing like PIR. It is very small, often lasting less than 30 minutes. Each of the Sailors gets their certificate and if there are family members there, then they will pose for a pic. That's pretty much it. Few loved ones attend most "A" School graduations. Leave a comment with the rating (job) on my My Page and I will give you more info on it.
