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 navymom3 on July 18, 2011 at 8:36am: Pattyb- My son already finished his ATT class and I think it was 6-8 weeks. I believe he started around the end of April beginning of May and finished the end of June. Sorry I don't have an exact time for you. But he should know his finish date for his ATT class as my son did.

Comment by pattyb on July 18, 2011 at 4:42am: How long is the ATT class? After that I guess my son starts AE classes. He has been in the ATT class about 10 days.

Comment by navymom3 on July 16, 2011 at 9:32am: Maryhelen- I think the closest base is Jacksonville and they have a PX.

Jan there is a graduation but I was told it was small. But since I live so close still going to go to son's in Sept. Couldn't go to the oldest son's so I want to see this one. Both had or have A school in Pensacola.

Comment by janieflorida on July 16, 2011 at 7:30am: There was a ceremony for Steve's A school, unfortunately there were very few family members there. It is not considered a big a deal as the PIR

Comment by Jan2 on July 16, 2011 at 1:41am: Is there a big graduation from A school?

Comment by pattyb on July 9, 2011 at 6:17am: My son finally started his class. So happy for him. Took about a month after he got to pensacola.

Comment by Paula (was Capricorna) on July 7, 2011 at 10:20am: Thanks for the info on the packing party. I'll put it on my calendar!

Comment by janieflorida on July 7, 2011 at 7:27am: The packing parties are a wonderful thing. You go girls

Comment by wendypcolamom on July 4, 2011 at 8:57pm: @ navymom3 - His contract is for rescue swimmer. We are pretty sure that he will be coming back to Pensacola.

Comment by navymom3 on July 4, 2011 at 6:40pm: Capri- He has been there since Mar 20. His PIR was mar 18th. He just went to Corry on last monday. He was on NAS to do his ATT class. But his actual A school class starts on friday this week. It is 17 weeks long the paperwork says. But he says they have made it only 10 weeks now. So we will see after he starts how long it really will be.
