OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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 Anna on May 18, 2013 at 6:00pm: My son graduated just after Mary's son Chris and he requested and got Fallon. Then after 4 there he went to Norfolk.

Comment by BarbRags on May 18, 2013 at 5:40pm: Gumby, my Son would be so upset if he got stationed at Fort Dix. We live in NJ. I would love it.

I thought they make a wish list of their top 3.

Comment by GUMBY on May 18, 2013 at 5:30pm: My Daughter graduated with all four calsses also, many went to Fallon, some to Fla. Dc, Va. Washington State, Hawaii,Korea.... They were all over the place. Mine came home and is stationed out of Fort Dix, NJ. Congrats and good luck!

Comment by Mary (Chris' mom) on May 18, 2013 at 8:36am: My son is OpIntel. he was going to DC but before his orders were written , they changed him to Seoul. Congrats CariD! My son loved it there (enough so, that he would like to move back there and teach school someday). Now he is in Japan attached to a squadron of planes that is carried around by the Geo. Washington. I think all the carriers have a few Intel people, and some of the smaller ones do too. A couple of the guys who graduated just before Chris went to England. Hawaii I think has several IS positions (not that there are any openings). I know guys who have gone to San Diego....it's all dependent on the needs of the Navy at the time they are going into the fleet.

CariD, I think that it might have been coincidence that the top grads went overseas. My son was just above the middle break in his class and was sent to SK. He hated it for a few weeks (bitter that he was told he had his dream assignment and then got it changed) but as soon as Hyundai sponsored a cultural weekend and he saw ancient palaces and temples, etc., he was hooked on South Korea. Bulgogi (sp?) became his favorite food and that was what he made for our "Christmas" dinner when he came home the next spring. He and his wife like Japan, but his heart is in Seoul now.

Comment by jillbro (Ship 12 Div 074) on May 18, 2013 at 6:59am: My son graduated last July, he got stationed in a joint command in Miami!

Comment by CariD(ship 12 Div 050) on May 18, 2013 at 2:10am: Brenda z. Thanks a lot and my son specialized in imagery. The day he graduated, it ended up being the graduation for all four classes..I remember that only two or so from each class went out of the country and most of them stayed in the US. A couple were assigned to ships and one went to Japan and one went to Germany. Not sure if this matters or if it was a coincidence but the ones that finished tops in their class, that were not reservists, were the ones that ended up out of the country.

Comment by Brenda on May 18, 2013 at 1:52am: Rachel-elena's mom, thannks for answering! good luck to your daughter!

Comment by Rachel on May 18, 2013 at 1:50am: Hi Brenda z my daughter just graduated from C school and will he stationed in DC. I know a few other in her class are going with her. Sorry I'm not sure where everyone else is going to.

Comment by Brenda on May 18, 2013 at 1:45am: CariD(ship12Div050), congrats on you sons graduation! ive been hearing alot of Korea, im surprised about Fallon though! my husband has a fam member out there. What exactly did your son specialize in IS? and thank you for answering!

:)

Comment by CariD(ship 12 Div 050) on May 18, 2013 at 1:06am: Brenda z, My son graduated "C" end of February, He got stationed in Seoul, South Korea but half of his class went to Fallon, Nevada..
