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 zipsue on October 21, 2010 at 10:36pm: JACKIE!!!! Hieeeee .....good to see you. hang in there and give my fav little girl a hug from me.

Comment by Superwoman(navy wife) on October 21, 2010 at 9:51pm: Hello My husband is in bootcamp. PIR date of 10/24. His rating is MA and his Aschool will be in Texas. With his graduation being the day before thanksgiving, do you think he will get Liberty on Thanksgiving? I wouldnt think he would leave out of Aschool on Thanksgiving. Or worse, would they make them leave that night of the ceremony? I want to book my flight but want to know what will be the best day to depart.... Any insight?

Comment by Sam0618 on October 20, 2010 at 6:48pm: thank you headoverheels! tried researching online about what to do and when we will get the money to move but no help. hopefully he'll be getting his orders soon so we can move from ny to cali!! hopefully it wont be snowing yet when we leave, but were used to driving in winter, were from buffalo lol.

Comment by josteph(Ship02/Div952) on October 20, 2010 at 11:46am: He probably won't. My husband is going to A School in California to be a Seabee too. He told me that he wouldn't get Thanksgiving off but he would have leave for Christmas.

Comment by Laryssa&Aubrey<3 on October 20, 2010 at 11:40am: my husband is going to aschool in mississippi for Seabee :]
does anyone know if he'll get leave for thanksgiving.

Comment by AliciaH*Ship09Div306/PIR9-10-10* on October 20, 2010 at 2:28am: do they get deployed right away after school???

Comment by Sam0618 on October 19, 2010 at 5:42pm: he finished LS school in meridian, ms. i looked at apartments and got a bunch that i like, im just waiting for him to come home for his leave so we can go! we are at the mercy of the navy and it sucks!! i cant believe they only gave you 6 days to get to your duty station! did he not get any leave? i boxed most of my stuff and he doesnt have that much stuff so i could do the rest in a day. how did the whole moving truck thing work? do they give you money upfront to help offset the costs of moving? we are from ny and moving to cali!! 40 hour drive if not more for us so the moving truck i was quoted is like $1500ish. we could afford the truck but then theres rent, lodging, etc. to pay for when we get there. and i know we have to pay it all first and then get reimbursed or something. any help would be great! thanks so much!

Comment by Sam0618 on October 19, 2010 at 2:25pm: does anyone know someone on the uss new orleans in san diego that could give me the sponsor's phone number? my hubby has been in tpu for 2 weeks now awaiting his written orders!! hes frustrated and wants to leave his school. i tried looking up online and found a number and email address and both were wrong.
