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 Dawn on March 4, 2013 at 6:40pm: Also join some older groups titled the same but with different class number so you can see what goes on.

Comment by TracyAlex on March 4, 2013 at 3:15pm: C Adam's Mom - Someone on this website directed me to join the friends and family facebook page for my loved ones class so I will do the same for you. Here is the link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/140665609429503/

This will give you a lot of info and put you in contact with others that have loved ones in class 11-13. My daughter is in class 08-13 and the friends and family facebook page has been a big help to me. Best of LUCK!

Comment by C Adam's Mom on March 4, 2013 at 3:01pm: Hi! My son is getting ready to report for OCS March 10, 2013 - Class 11-13. Is there anyone else out there with a loved one in that class?

Comment by TracyAlex on January 17, 2013 at 5:17pm: Thanks for the info!

Comment by gordons4 on January 17, 2013 at 5:05pm: Mary and Tracy, Have you both joined the 08-13 Friends and Family page on FB? Here is a link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/562407203776081/?bookmark_t=group

Excellent source of information and good way to stay connected to others with Loved Ones in the same class.

Comment by TracyAlex on January 17, 2013 at 1:34pm: Hi Mary

My daughter is in 08-13 G and is from South Carolina. Have you received any letters yet? I found a facebook page "Office Training Command Newport" and saw pictures of this class and of my daughter.

Comment by aggiemom on December 29, 2012 at 1:41pm: Happy dance..my officer candidate is home for a couple days.

Comment by cookie on November 20, 2012 at 3:06pm: thankyou navygf820 and mayapple, that makes sense, i was able to get a letter off to him today to explain why i couldn't reply back to him., will also recheck the email address, thanks for your help.

Comment by Navygf820 on November 20, 2012 at 12:19pm: Hi Cookie - candidates are only allowed to start using email regularly after they pass their RLP inspection on the Thursday of Week 4. The email you received was a "test" email to make sure their accounts work. He is not able to receive email until Week 4 so that is probably why you are getting a bounce back message. Also, make sure the email address you are emailing is correct...sometimes they have a few zeros or numbers after their name. It should be @training.navy.mil as the ending. My boyfriend is in class 04-13 and once RLP was over they had computers in their rooms and were allowed to use email everyday during their down time.
