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."

well I know his class starts Aug 1st, I thought I had fix it, so confusing so now I don't know what the number should be Please help dmarie
Wow! You've got this down pretty good! That's the one thing I didn't know.... fiscal year! So, it's not necessarily when they start, but when they end! Thanks for clearing that up!
This class may well be 01-11. Your son should get an official word on the class designation from OCS. In checking another website that has lots of OCS info on it, it does not look like any classes are starting up in July. Don't sweat the class number too much. People will find you, and when you have an official number, post it!
It is 01-11 because like you said dmarie, it's when they graduate. They'll be the first class to graduate in the fiscal year of 2011. Here is a link to the OCS schedule from CETARS (navy database for schools)

I will be watching your posts as my son starts in the next class on Aug. 22. He has been in awhile also - 3 years in Nov. as enlisted. He is in Charleston right now and has been on hold almost a year. Good luck to your son and wish all of you well as 3 months with little contact is hard!
