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."

Thanks Sconway9.  I got a call from my daughter over the weekend.  She said they're doing lots of PT and studying (just as you said).  It was great to hear from her but I know once she rolls into the next class it will be awhile until we hear from her again.  As everyone has said, no news is good news.

Comment by Sconway9 on July 17, 2012 at 9:33am
terry, Your daughter will spend the coming weeks doing a lot of PT, marching, swimming, lifting and getting a head start on learning so that when she rolls back into the next class, she, and the others who roll with her, will be in a stronger position to help the rest of the class. Good luck to her!

M's Mom, Thanks for the info.  I had joined the OCS Class 17-12 on Facebook.  All the information helps and is appreciated.

Comment by M's mom on July 14, 2012 at 1:15pm

Hi Terry!   My son is in OCS class 16-12 that started June 17.  If you haven't already, also join the OCS Class 17-12 Family and Friends group on Facebook.  Along with Navy for Moms, there is lots of help available there, too. We're all in the same "boat" --(so to speak!)

Comment by terry on July 13, 2012 at 5:08pm

Hi Everyone, I'm glad to have found this group.  My daughter reported Sunday to OCS Class 17-12.  I just found out she has been put into H-Class (not surprised since she shipped less than two weeks after joining).  She said she is fine when she called but, of course, I am worried.  We have no experience with military training since she is the first to join since her grandfather served many, many years ago.  It is great to read all your posts, it really helps educate us with the process.

Anna, I think it's great that so many women are going into aviation now.  The girls can fly just as well as the guys!

Comment by Dawn on July 7, 2012 at 8:42pm
Great thank you for paying forward!
