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."

Hollea H set up a FB page for 17-12 class (start date July 8th)https://www.facebook.com/groups/242342525888987/ - please join if your LO is in this class! Thank you so much Hollea.

Comment by Dawn on June 14, 2012 at 7:13am: Yes ask to join 14-12 an 15-12. And we will figure out how to get a face book pager or your class

Comment by M's mom on June 13, 2012 at 11:03pm: My son will be starting OCS this Sunday, June 17th. I think his class should be 16-12? I hope someone starts a Facebook page for his class because I don't know how to do that. My son is my computer tech support, and he's leaving! LOL! I will have to ask to join 14-12 and 15-12's group pages to see what they can tell me, since we're all in this "boat" together, so to speak. I think I am more nervous than my son is!

Comment by Dawn on June 13, 2012 at 7:20pm: I just checked and you must have been accepted. There is also a page with same name for class 11-12 that have graduated and class 15-12 that is starting third week

Comment by beezy on June 13, 2012 at 6:02pm: Thanks Dawn! I have sent a request to join the FB page :) I am sure I will have 101 questions (about graduation/contact with the candidates etc). I appreciate your response!

Comment by Dawn on June 13, 2012 at 5:55pm: There are also several documents on our page that u can read that tell about OCS.

Comment by Dawn on June 13, 2012 at 5:54pm: My son is there now class 14-12. If you use FB ask to join our page
https://www.facebook.com/groups/163725833756221/. You will be able to read all that we have been doing. Currently in week 6. You should start a FB page for all LO of your class to join. It helps a lot feel free to ask any questions

Comment by beezy on June 13, 2012 at 4:16pm: Hi there - my husband starts OCS on July 8th. Is there anyone else on this forum who has a son/daughter/significant other in this class? It would be great to touch base with you.

Thanks!

Comment by Dawn on May 18, 2012 at 6:01pm: My son started May 6. There are several face book pages for classes and you should start one for your sons class. You get a lot of information from theses. On our us navy class 14-12 we have documents telling about classes. Cozy cab is around 24 dollars and is at main entrance of airport. Travel lodge is very close to base and reasonable also. They can hook up with each other on FB ahead of time also. My son did that and several of them met up ahead of time.

Comment by OkSuzy on May 18, 2012 at 9:46am: I just checked the web site. It says a 12 passenger van ride is about $20. and taxi is $65. Hope this helps.
