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 josteph(Ship02/Div952) on November 17, 2010 at 7:11pm: Just wondering if anyone has a Sailor (PIR'd 11/12/2010) in Port Hueneme, CA for 'A' School? My husband arrived there yesterday (CM school) and I'm wondering what I can expect and/or if I can connect with anyone out there that has a Sailor there too? Thanks!

Comment by angelmarie on November 15, 2010 at 12:26pm: I have a few questions regarding our first pcs move with a family. My husband leaves A-School December 3 and has to report to Norfolk Va December 15. Im a little lost on how to get our move started. How do we get the money upfront to move, or do we have to pay out of pocket and then they pay us back? I have contacted fleet and family services and i was told he would have to make an appointment to attend a finacial class to recieve the money upfront. Since he is still in A-School how can he do that? Do they offer that class there? If anyone could help me understand our first move, i would really appreciate it.
