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 BoyWonderMom on May 21, 2014 at 4:17pm: You're welcome, momthatlovesherson. I know that they had a test yesterday, and another one on Friday. There's one more next week on Wednesday, after that, is comps on Tuesday June 3. May be a difference, my son is a MM. This info my son gave to me about 3 weeks ago. Either way the end of PS is getting closer. Hope everyone passes. I know they should be moving this week, but have no idea since it's getting difficult for my son to text back. I know they are very busy and the anxiety should be at breaking levels right now. I text my son about every two or three days just to make sure he's alive and well. If he throws extra info is a bonus! LOL. Praying for all our kids, for a successful PS training coming to an end!!!

Comment by MomThatLovesHerSon on May 19, 2014 at 6:00pm: The boy wonder mom:

You commented last Thurs: "My son passed his test today, 4 more tests including comps."

Congratulations to your son for passing that test! Thanks for keeping me informed about tests and comps. My son (1402 also) and I text but I keep forgetting to ask him when he takes his tests and how many he has left. So thanks! = )

Comment by A's_momma_Erin on May 18, 2014 at 9:30pm: Looking for a bit of advice to send my son. He is having trouble with his roomate's lack of hygiene, cleanliness and doing laundry. They just got a grossly unsat room inspection (not many passing ones). The roommate was even moved to a "clean room" for a while and then my son had decent room inspections when he was gone. This is the second one since he came back and it had a hit due to the odor in the room (from the roommates dirty laundry in the closet). The suite mates have also noticed and commented on the odor before. He has talked to his SLPO and chief about this inspection and my son still had to do EMI. Thoughts?!?

Comment by BoyWonderMom on May 15, 2014 at 5:39pm: My son passed his test today, 4 more tests including comps. Very happy for him. Hope every sailor in 1402 passed. :)

Comment by B'sMomLa(ship 11 div 090) on May 15, 2014 at 1:46pm: I thought they got leave after the first 14 weeks of school which would be late June.

Comment by Joniana (Helen) on May 15, 2014 at 9:01am: My son is in 1424 and he recently confirmed grad on August 22.

Comment by 713emom on May 14, 2014 at 9:13pm: My son is in 1422mt. He was first given August 8 but then the Et group will wait a week for part 5. Then new date is August 15th. I don't know if the class number will change.

Comment by A's_momma_Erin on May 14, 2014 at 4:55pm: B'sMomLa 1420 has a July 25 grad date last I heard from my son. I'm going to guess Aug 22 or there about for 1424...

Comment by Stephanie C on May 14, 2014 at 2:24pm: B'sMomLa - my husband is in class 1415 (used to be 1412, but they changed classes) and their graduation is June 20th I believe, so 1424 will probably be a little bit after that

Comment by B'sMomLa(ship 11 div 090) on May 14, 2014 at 2:19pm: Does anyone know the grad date or end date of 1424 for the first 14 weeks of A school? By my count I'm thinking end of Junish...but I need something more specific.
