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 ChitownPat on January 3, 2011 at 7:19am: Jenmack-My son was a Nuke down in Charleston and he got a vehicle sticker right away...first week he was there. We drove down with him in his car from Chicago after BC and he got it that first week and parked it on base.

Comment by jenmack on January 2, 2011 at 10:41pm: When do they find out where they go after A school? I just hope he get to start A school after BC

Comment by carols_kitchen on January 2, 2011 at 12:30pm: Jenmack--he was in S. Carolina--too bad, but someone had to go there so we could visit it again!

Comment by bodeanhead on January 2, 2011 at 11:17am: When mine was in A school, he did not have one, but others did. (Nuke School, Goose Creek, SC) But, when he got to prototype school, he had to have one, as they were required to live off base. He did get xtra pay for that, and was able to rent a very nice house with 4 others. Unfortunately, he had a different schedule from the other 4, so he was not able to car pool.

Comment by jenmack on January 2, 2011 at 11:14am: Thank you Carol. Where did your son go to A school? Orders said mine is staying at GL.

Comment by carols_kitchen on January 1, 2011 at 9:30pm: Jenmack-- I know ours got his during Phase II of A school, but, he couldn't get the permission sticker to park it for a while. Can't remember why, but he parked it at a married couple's house on base until he could get it.

Comment by jenmack on January 1, 2011 at 8:45pm: Happy New Year!!

Comment by jenmack on January 1, 2011 at 8:44pm: When do the sailors get their vehicles? Do they get it during A school or when they get to their destination?
