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 Cheyanna (Wife of Brent,Nuke MM) on June 9, 2010 at 12:52pm: As long as his laptop has a wireless card which most do now, he can sign up for Comcast wireless internet. There is also a few computer labs around base.

Comment by dmab (ship 9 Div 223) on June 9, 2010 at 10:43am: My son will be coming to A school here. Is there anything extra that he will need for his laptop to connect to the internet. I want to be sure I can get ahold of him when he gets there : )

Comment by lovemynavyboy on June 9, 2010 at 10:20am: thank you amanda and cheyanna!

Comment by Cheyanna (Wife of Brent,Nuke MM) on June 8, 2010 at 2:53pm: lovemynavyboy- the countdown for the first 4 weeks of phase one does not count until he "classes up" He will be in what they call "in doc" for the first week or so while they get enough guys to make up a class. My husband was in in doc for 2-3 weeks I think. Now he just finished phase one!

Comment by amanda on June 8, 2010 at 1:27pm: lovemynavyboy- you should wait until phase 3 because then he can stay overnight with you all weekend (that's 8 weeks) but I'm not sure the exact dates.

Comment by lovemynavyboy on June 8, 2010 at 12:31pm: hi everyone!
this is my first time posting on this group. my boyfriend is flying to charleston for nuke school (MM) today! i want to visit him ASAP, but I am confused about the phasing timeline. at what point do they begin counting the days for the 4 weeks until phase two? is it four weeks from his arrival to a school (today) or four weeks from day one of classes?
thank you

Comment by sunshine1 on June 8, 2010 at 12:05am: Does anyone know how many people graduate from nuke school and how many don't? My son is having difficult with power school and wondering if he is capable of getting thru it. He has the maximum amount of study hours because he did bad on his last test. The instructor told them they were the stupidist class. Doesn't sound very motivational. What do you think?

Comment by Kathy on June 7, 2010 at 6:00pm: no prob! don't forget--spouses don't automatically get dental insurance even if you have tricare prime. you have to enroll in the program. it's about $13 a month..you can also get the dental enrollment forms at the green roofed building) :)

Comment by Dest W (wife of Brice, Nuke MM) on June 7, 2010 at 3:30pm: thanks for the information Kathy!

Comment by Kathy on June 7, 2010 at 3:01pm: Dest--there's no eye dr. on base for spouses (it's only for active duty). I'm pretty sure the dentist is for active duty too. You can go to the tricare office (green roof building on pulaski st. right next to branch medical) and ask for a list of participating practices. After you get that, you just call and set up your appt. If you have tricare prime, you usually don't have to pay for anything (unless it's a cosmetic procedure/something not medically necessary) for instance, you'd have to pay for contacts.
