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 Mark on April 7, 2009 at 11:39pm: Thanks Tanya - you're the best!

Comment by Mark on April 7, 2009 at 12:18am: Thanks Gloria and Tanya! So, does two months of hold after TCNO sound about right? Zach is saying the pipeline is getting really clogged up now...

Comment by Gloria P. on April 6, 2009 at 8:43am: Well I'm getting ready to take my son back to the base. Was great having him for 11 days. Funny how it goes by so fast. He will be starting A school on the 20th. We are so proud of him. To bad he won't be home for Easter but thats ok. He is only 2.5 hours from home so maybe we'll go see him instead if he doesn't have duty or watch that day. I hope everyone has a great Easter with their love ones.

Comment by Gloria P. on April 6, 2009 at 8:38am: My son finished TCNO school in 14 days that pretty fast. He told me its a self pace course. They say its usually about 1 month long. Its up to the sailor how fast or slow he does the work.

Comment by Mark on April 6, 2009 at 12:09am: Tanya,
Could you tell me how long Techno was for your husband? I'm thinking of visiting my son, who's in ATT for ST right now, during the hold period prior to "A" school, but my son doesn't know how long techno will be. Thanks a lot :)

Comment by Gloria P. on March 28, 2009 at 11:41pm: Well its 11:37pm and our son is with his friends. But that is ok knowing that he's home. I hope everyone else whos son will be coming home before A school have a wonderful time with them.

Comment by Gloria P. on March 26, 2009 at 8:27pm: Hey Spongee glad you had a great time with your son. Funny how time goes by when your having fun. My son will be home tomorrow. I'll will be going to pick him up. Can't wait to see him. He'll be home til April 6. He starts A school on the 20th. Too bad he can't stay longer but sure happy for the time we'll have with him. :) :)

Comment by Mark on March 21, 2009 at 11:57pm: Thanks for the info April - here's hoping our sonar tech sons can keep their skippers from bumping any Gator freighters... :)

Comment by Mark on March 20, 2009 at 10:59pm: Good to hear from you Tanya, your posts have given me a lot more insight to the timetable my son is on than I would otherwise have. Now I know that sonar techs know their first duty station around three months before finishing "A" school! Thanks!

Comment by Gloria P. on March 16, 2009 at 9:12pm: Just an update my son just called he finish TNCO school. Will be on hold for A school til April 20th. He will be coming home on the 27th of this month can't wait to see him. He will be home for 11 days. Happy Days!!!!!!!!!!!!
