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 Michelle0206 on June 13, 2015 at 11:38pm: KAM Mom, hi! Our son is there too, arrived from Boot Camp 5/23/15. I don't know if he started classes yet, he has also been cleaning, going to briefings, working out a lot and running. He texted Tuesday to let us know he is out of contact for a week. We don't have any idea what that's about. He knows someone who lives down there...maybe your son? Our son is ET as well. We don't always get details from him. Best to you and your sailor!

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on June 3, 2015 at 11:31am: Hi all - Happy Wednesday!

Comment by bobnver on June 2, 2015 at 11:12pm: Hi all... I noticed a few of you had sailors that have just started at GC so I just wanted to give you a timetable of what my daughter (EM) has done so far. She arrived in GC in May 2014.. she graduated "A" school in Nov 2014, She will graduate power school on July 10, 2015.... each segment was 6 mos but she had "holds" both before and after A school... I'm told that everyone's schedule is different but I hope this guideline can be helpful.

If anyone wants to chat, feel free to comment or send me a friend invite...

Comment by KAM Mom on May 31, 2015 at 6:57pm: Hi from SC not too far from GC! We are still waiting for our SAilor to "class up" for A school. He is an ET. I think the will begin class with the EM's very soon. Apparently, they alternate weeks for starting their classes. As soon as he starts, we should know his graduation date provided he stays on track. He seems to be doing just fine while he waits. Although cleaning is not much fun, there is little stress right now. BEst to all those coming in today and next week. If you Sailor is an ET or EM and has not started classes yet, we may have Sailors in the same group. Let me know. Thanks.

Comment by kitkat508 on May 29, 2015 at 12:55am: SJ0522, thank you SO MUCH! That makes me feel so much better!

Comment by SJ0522 on May 26, 2015 at 4:33pm: Kitkat580, my husband arrived to GC on Saturday after grad and then flew home to get me the following Wednesday. It definitely varies, but I believe this is the norm.

Comment by kitkat508 on May 24, 2015 at 2:18am: Hey everyone! My husband is a Nuke, is currently in basic training and will be going to Goose Creek after graduation! I had a question for any wives that live with their husbands-how long did it take for you to be able to move in with your husband once he got arrived Goose Creek? I know there is a bunch that goes on, but I was just wondering what other people's experiences were!

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on May 13, 2015 at 10:35am: That's awesome Chris! Have a great time in GC!

Comment by Chris on May 13, 2015 at 10:28am: Congratulations my son and to all the sailors who passed their comp test yesterday .. I as well will be making the trip to Goose Creek .. Hope all has a safe trip and awesome visit

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on May 13, 2015 at 10:21am: Bravo Zulu to your sailors BlancheMarie and cindyb! (and to all that passed PS comp). Have a wonderful visit!
