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 bjm46 on April 13, 2010 at 3:47pm: ditto here! REAL early Saturday morning

Comment by Stacie - Sailor Logan's Mom on April 13, 2010 at 3:39pm: bjm46 Logan is in div 156 and heading off to SC on Saturday morning.

Comment by bjm46 on April 13, 2010 at 3:00pm: Logans mom, your son may be in the same division as my son. His PIR is 4/16 also and will be going to SC for his training, grad and go as well.
We may see you this weekend!

Comment by Stacie - Sailor Logan's Mom on April 3, 2010 at 9:49pm: Gayle-Em's Mom. Congratulations on your Sailor's PIR. Our son's PIR is 4/16 then off to nuke school. I know that he is also a grad and go so our time together will be short and sweet. It will be nice to finally have more phone contact with him now, I think that has been the hardest for me because he voice tells me everything. Good luck to your Sailor!!!

Comment by Stacie - Sailor Logan's Mom on March 11, 2010 at 2:05pm: My son's PIR is 4/16. Don't know if he is a GNG yet. He is being tested today to see how his body reacts to exposure or something along those lines. Can anyone tell me what that is all about?

Comment by Cindy K on March 11, 2010 at 1:29pm: Hi all! My son's PIR is coming fast. Three more weeks from tomorrow. From there is also goes to SC. Not sure when but he should find out soon, correct? Thanks for explaining how long A school is, I was not sure about that. He should remain there for 18 months.

Comment by Beverly on March 5, 2010 at 9:16pm: Hi guys, my son's PIR was 2/19, and he has been at GC for about 10 days. I went up to GC last weekend to take all his paraphanelia. It was a short/quick trip immediately on the heels of a trip from GA to PIR - but it seems to be a nice place and anyone going there will probably find plenty to do and will enjoy their stay.

Comment by navywife2010 on March 4, 2010 at 11:33am: Thanks Raytirza and Frankie's Grandma!!!

Comment by navywife2010 on March 2, 2010 at 5:35pm: Frankie's Grandma, How long is the schooling...is it 18months? What is GC? :0)

Comment by navywife2010 on March 1, 2010 at 9:58am: Raytirza, Thank You! Hopefully this week I'll know from one of his letters! How's your son doing in A-school? How's the workload and the schedule? Is he able to visit on weekends?
