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."

Hi elpis - welcome! There were two threads started for this class and everyone is on this thread :
http://www.navyformoms.com/group/ocsgraduatemoms/forum/topics/1610-...
This is the OCS Graduate Moms thread. There is a main page and then threads for all the classes. You will learn a lot of information. Each class starts with around 100 people and they break them into two groups. G is Golf and H is Hotel. Do you know which group he is in? We also have a facebook group: OCS Class 16-10-Family and Friends On Navy4Moms never use the name of your boyfriend - use LO = Love One. On facebook every one shares a lot more info. Please join both groups and you will learn A LOT - more than likely you will spend hours reading! If you join the fb group, send me a message with your name so I know who you are. Great to have you!

Hello everyone. My boyfriend is currently in class 16-10 at OCS. This is my first time on the site but I'm posting because I received the first letter from him (which completely made my day). He asked that I post on here that the company letters are G and H. Does anyone actually know what that means? I'm fairly new to the Navy.
