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 Lorie-Lee ship 3 div 20 on June 20, 2012 at 11:53pm: What is OS 2 ...what does the number mean??

Comment by eljac913 (Ship 12 Div 053) on June 13, 2012 at 6:29pm: Welcome Kurtmansmom....It is my understanding they don't all go to C school. Some do go right after A school and some go later I believe. My son went to C school in VA for 3 weeks right after his A school. He got to come home after A school for a week before he went to C school. I don't know if this is the same for everyone though.

Comment by Kurtmansmom on June 13, 2012 at 5:22pm: Hi my son just left for BC today. He is going to A school for OS in GL. Do they aslo go to C school and where are C school
