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 Dana (David's Mom) on August 2, 2010 at 8:45pm: My son says that for A School names were required as you were going into a secure building and had to be checked in with ID and escorted into the room where the grads were. Power School is outdoors and he says he doesn't have to submit a list of names. We went right through the gates without any paperwork etc at A school graduation and have been told it's the same for Power School graduation also. The guard at the gate just directed us to where the parking lot was. At least that was how it was in February for A School and the rest is from the information from my son who graduates Power School in just a few weeks (5). There are no tickets and I know of no restrictions (Power School) as to how many can attend unless it rains then only two are allowed as where ever they have to move indoors to is small. As always this is info from my son but he's been right on target so far and I remember reading this same info somewhere.

Comment by Kathy on August 2, 2010 at 6:19pm: Catie--lol I can't even remember that far back (blame the pregnancy brain)...maybe we were told we only got 4 spots per graduate lol I don't remember signing in or anything...we just walked up to all the seats and sat down. I think they might check your names if your car doesn't have decals or if you aren't driving in with an active duty member/spouse. (since you still have to go through the security gates)..do you know someone who's hubby graduated more recently? Our power school grad was back in Jan. lol

Comment by Kris, Stevens mom on August 2, 2010 at 12:55pm: Very excited too, hotel is booked but still watching for cheap flights. We are flying in on Wed 09/01 and leaving Sun 09/05. Staying at the Wingate on University.

Comment by Kathy on August 2, 2010 at 10:01am: Nicole-we got 4 tickets, I don't know what you have to do if you want more (or if you can even get more) I remember we had to let the navy know the names of the people who were coming too.

Comment by Dana (David's Mom) on August 1, 2010 at 11:48pm: Unlimited if outdoors, two if rain and it has to move indoors.

Comment by Nicole loves Sean (EM-N (SS)) on August 1, 2010 at 11:35pm: how many tickets do they get for power school grad?

Comment by Emily-aaronsgirl11 on August 1, 2010 at 11:32pm: Whoa! That means only 5 more weeks of A school!!! :) YAY!!

Comment by Dana (David's Mom) on August 1, 2010 at 11:24pm: My son David is an EM graduating Power School Sept 3rd. Have tickets for entire family (me, husband and other two sons) a Villa booked and suitcases ready to pack (but it's still too soon). Excited, YES!!!

Comment by Kris, Stevens mom on July 30, 2010 at 2:26pm: I send packages for my son to one of his married friends addresses, it doesnt seem to matter because no matter what i send (usually cookies) I say how were tehy and he'll say "what kind were they and it was just like eating granola" :):)
