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 BarbRags on January 23, 2014 at 9:08am: My son stayed in DN for A and both C schools, but he changed dorms. They actually put him in the hotel for a week when he started his second C school. He had a few different roommates.

Comment by Laura on January 23, 2014 at 3:39am: Yes Lizzie.

Also, my sailor stayed in the same room for "A" and "C" school.

His roommates changed when he was there (they all started at different months) but he never moved rooms.

Comment by LizziesHusband-2/28/14 - 14-091 on January 23, 2014 at 12:14am: Are all the C schools for IS in Dam Neck?

Comment by LizziesHusband-2/28/14 - 14-091 on January 22, 2014 at 5:48pm: Thank you!!!!!!

Comment by Mary (Chris' mom) on January 22, 2014 at 5:20pm: Things must have changed at the command a little. My son was not able to use his POV until around week 6. He was able to wear civvies in his room by the end of the first week. I know a few things concerning phasing up has changed over the past few years since my son was there. Good to get newer information. Can someone send a general phase up guide to me and I will try to revise the information in the discussion on "Now Your Sailor Is At Dam Neck".

Comment by SouthernCalimom Ship 13 Div 333 on January 22, 2014 at 4:07pm: Lizzie , they sent my son in Virgin and United. He says they look for the cheapest flight do it could be any airline. I sent his car about 2 weeks after he got there. It took 10 days from CA. He just sent me a pic of it snowed in. Classes were canceled in his C school do they are all happy!'

Comment by BarbRags on January 22, 2014 at 2:46pm: We shipped my sons car about 2 1/2 weeks after he got there, He was allowed to use it when it arrived. He was also in civilan clothes by then too.
