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 JapanMom on October 2, 2010 at 10:40am: khoov00-your son should have a chance to test for special ops in boot camp. He needs to do it then. Once he is sent to A school it is get harder (not impossible) to go special ops as the Navy is already investing money into his schooling.

Comment by khoov00 (Kara) on October 2, 2010 at 9:49am: My son is currently in bc. He was originally planning on going to BUDS but didn't qualify because of his vision being slightly off. His plan was to go in as an AM, get lasik and then try to go to BUDS. Now he's thinking he wants to do the training to be a Navy diver (which mom told him to look into before he left but he didn't listen) and I'm wondering will he be able to request this when he goes to Pensacola for A school? Or does he have to complete A school and then request the change? Or is he stuck for now with what he originally chose? His ASVAB score was really high so that's not a problem.

Comment by MM on October 1, 2010 at 10:32am: Hello bev618- There is a specific group for EOD as well, you may want to check out that group as well. It was created by Susan, a friend. I am sure she and the others there with help with EOD information.

Comment by bev618 on October 1, 2010 at 10:03am: I am new to the Navy world and have a son who will leave for BC on 15 Dec to become an EOD diver -- I am not new to the military as I am a Air Force widow, but new to this environment -- I am looking to hopefully connect with other moms of EOD divers --

Comment by lnaipaul on September 29, 2010 at 6:51pm: Thanks just hoping he can come home for thanksgiving. Bye

Comment by lnaipaul on September 29, 2010 at 5:36pm: Thank Ger and MM for your comment. I know physically it is sooo hard for the kids but if they really want it they will make it. I can't imagine how cold the lake is right now. Man what a tough excercise. Does anyone knows if kids are allow to come home for thanksgiving? I pray that they all will done dive prep by then.

Comment by lnaipaul on September 28, 2010 at 9:03pm: Hello Everyone I hope everyone's kids are doing well at dive prep. I know my son said he was sick today. They had to jump in lake. I bet that was cold. He said it was cool. lol. Its a tough road for them but with our prayers they will be okay. Does anyone knows the routine for when they get to dive school, is it going to be this grueling like dive prep. And if he fails will he be able to try again. Thanks

Comment by lnaipaul on September 24, 2010 at 8:25am: Thanks nicole will also check on that I know he likes my homemade cookies but will also check that out. Takecare

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on September 23, 2010 at 11:55pm: If they are in GL, there is a nearby place that makes cupcakes, home made and delivers them right to base...GOOGLE it. I can't think of the name right off hand!
