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 Mama C (PS E-Class 1202-1) on May 23, 2011 at 7:07pm: CRSmom - Yep, my son shipped to SC on 5/14 for A School. He, too, is waiting to class up. He said the same thing - he's doing ALOT of cleaning! Polishing brass propellors, painting, cleaning floors and stuff. I look at all this as "Building Character". :)

Comment by CRSmom on May 23, 2011 at 3:29pm: My daughter is in A School at Great Lakes. She is waiting to Class up also.
Not too many going into Sonar either, but she is getting more rest now.
She would rather be in school of course. Doing lots of cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. Ha!

Comment by Navy-Girlfriend32 on May 23, 2011 at 1:12pm: I know I wish he couldve just came home and waited here lol

Comment by Mama C (PS E-Class 1202-1) on May 22, 2011 at 2:34pm: It's kinda crazy how quickly they move them out of Boot Camp only to make them "Hurry up and Wait" on the other end. sigh

Comment by Dr.Kimber on May 22, 2011 at 2:11pm: Hello all! My son is in A school in Pensacola and he is waiting to class up. He only knows of 3 others that are the same rate- AE- so it might be awhile before he classes up.

Comment by Navy-Girlfriend32 on May 22, 2011 at 12:29pm: Their waiting to fill a class for my fiance too but he's hoping next week they will start yeah he left 5/14 too. I hate that hes on hold since that means he cant phase up right now soooo naturally I cant visit anytime soon.

Comment by Mama C (PS E-Class 1202-1) on May 21, 2011 at 10:51pm: Navy-Girlfriend - My son is still in INDOC - he left 5/14 to go to A School. He said he could be in INDOC another 3 weeks before A School can start for him! They're waiting to fill a class - he went to Nuke School.

Comment by Navy-Girlfriend32 on May 21, 2011 at 3:23pm: How are all you Sailors doing in A school? Good I hope.
