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 SumiK0125 (wife of a Nuke MM) on December 6, 2010 at 8:47am: @wolfpackgirl- it will probably be about a week after he classes up when he finds out about his A-school graduation date.

Comment by WolfpackGirl on December 5, 2010 at 10:52pm: Ok so they find out pretty quick after their class is formed and started? thanks!!

Comment by Proud_Wife on December 5, 2010 at 10:47pm: They don't find out when they grad A school till they class up.

Comment by WolfpackGirl on December 5, 2010 at 10:16pm: Does anyone know when the guys find out the date of their A School Graduation? My boyfriend is at boot camp right now and we are trying to figure out when the 10 day break will be following A School so we can plan for our wedding during those days!
