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 Olivia Brown on January 15, 2013 at 7:10pm: Yes I am so excited! That's cool!

Comment by UrabissWife on January 15, 2013 at 7:05pm: how exciting! I know a girl whose husband is also graduating on Friday

Comment by Olivia Brown on January 15, 2013 at 7:00pm: Oic. That def makes sense. And yea he graduates on Friday! =]

Comment by UrabissWife on January 15, 2013 at 6:58pm: AD schooling isn't very long. im not sure about AT schooling. its all different. my husbands roommate was there forever in school. he is an AM. it also depends on if they have enough people to start their class. that's what took forever for my husband to class up , they were waiting for more AD's to get there. so is he still is basic right now?

Comment by Olivia Brown on January 15, 2013 at 5:29pm: Yes i am very lucky =] i have someone who can show me the ins and outs =] and i am hoping it doesn't take him long too! We will definitely try that out! Wow thats the shortest I have heard of someone being there so far!

Comment by UrabissWife on January 15, 2013 at 5:12pm: that's awesome you have someone there. that helps a bunch :) hopefully it wont take him long to class up :) my husband ended up only being there for 2 months, but it was amazing to be there :) i love the beach it so pretty, i would go during the week so no one was there. during the weekends its crazy full. you guys have to go to flounders. its right by Pensacola beach they have amazing burgers :)

Comment by Olivia Brown on January 15, 2013 at 4:48pm: Okay. Fortunately for me one of my best friends is down there with her husband currently. He is stationed there so she is gonna look into places for me! She warned me about the bad neighborhoods and what not also. I have heard of the fox trot thing and that would be awesome if that happened! We are not sure what my husband will be yet because right now he is AV and it branches two separate ways when he goes to school.
