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 cjohanni on August 26, 2019 at 12:32pm: My son called home this weekend from BootCamp and said that he is definitely ET rate and he has to be on the bus to the airport 5 am on Saturday after graduation. We won't get to spend much time with him before he leaves, but hoping we can spend a little time with him at the airport. Anyone know what time their flight usually is on Saturdays to Goose Creek? Or if they fly out of O'Hare or Midway?

Comment by van1612 on July 16, 2015 at 9:28pm: Hi does anyone have information about when the winter stand down starts and ends? I am currently overseas and need to plan when to fly over to be with my fiance in the nuke pipeline.

Comment by Stephanie C on February 20, 2014 at 12:11pm: Posting in a couple of groups. I know that my husband can stay at the school for extended periods of time, but if he wanted to do some studying at home, is there some kind of self help textbook he can buy? He is in A school and starting his electrical fundamentals class today… Does anyone have any study tips for my sailor? He's extremely smart (as are all of the sailors!), but he hasn't found a study technique that has clicked for him. He understands the work it seems, but he has some difficulty with vocab from what it sounds like. Thanks!

Comment by SailorsSweetheartJessie on October 1, 2013 at 6:41pm: I am going to visit my sailor, who is at A school in Goosecreek SC, and I don't know where to stay. Any suggestions on the best hotel to stay at in Goosecreek? Any hotels have shuttles to get me to from the airport to the hotel and to base? Thank you!

Comment by Subwife2002 on January 15, 2013 at 11:10am: torreswife10 - Hubs put Kings Bay, GA and Silverdale, WA only on his dream sheet. He didn't pick a sub by its command. He just wanted a Boomer Sub and he got GA.
