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 diannep on October 9, 2010 at 2:26pm: Laura: Sounds like he will be "on hold" at the GL base until A School. They do indoc (getting familiar with the base, processing, etc) for a few days, and he will probably do watches, etc. It can get rather boring for them when in "hold" (my son was in hold at the end of A School), but most of them do it. It is part of the Navy: Hurry up and wait!

Comment by diannep on October 9, 2010 at 2:22pm: LogansMom: Yes, since he is not G&Go, he will not be able to take cell, etc back to base since he will remain on RTC until Wed. Will you all leave before Wed? If so, you can rent him a locker in GL (Lock and Go-2323 Greenbay Rd, phone: 847-578-0161) and store his things in there for him. He can pick them up after he is settled on the GL base. My son was not at GL, but I have friends who sons are...so if I can help, please let me know, ok?

Comment by Trayalovesjohn on October 9, 2010 at 12:51pm: Long day already! It's Johns birthday, Happy Birthday baby I love you and miss you something fierce. Oh lynne I'm jealous. That Sounds wonderful. Does anyone wanna share a place in the GL, LOL.

Comment by Amy**QM MOM** on October 9, 2010 at 12:48pm: when my son called he said he is not a grad and go...he is in GL for A school but wont go over till wed. after PIR does this mean he cant have cell when we leave him? I have so many questions....I just dont know where to start...

Comment by stefani71-ship7/div364 on October 9, 2010 at 12:19pm: Lynne, that sounds like a wonderful opportunity to do some traveling! Great idea :)

Comment by Lynne on October 9, 2010 at 12:13pm: Okay all, its a new day, and this mom has had her pout and I am done...I am just going to go to Pensacola and find myself a place to stay for awhile so my son can drop by when he has liberty...part of the joys of being alone and being retired in a way. Actually I am not retired but my job is portable...because it is online..so its a new day and I have a new sense of strength..sorry for the lapse..

Comment by Laryssa&Aubrey<3 on October 9, 2010 at 11:38am: laura my husband was also to be in a-school in GL but he changed his job cause it was overbooked.

Comment by Laryssa&Aubrey<3 on October 9, 2010 at 11:37am: any one have someone going to A-school in gulfport?

Comment by Laryssa&Aubrey<3 on October 9, 2010 at 11:33am: so i got a letter in the mail :[ uhh, my hubby had to change his job no whe's a seabee, he'll be in a-school in Mississippi, gulfport, how will i know if he's a grad and go? or what? im so lost :/

Comment by Laura (Ship 7 Div 355 PIR 11/5) on October 9, 2010 at 11:16am: If my son was grad and go, staying in GL. He says now he's on hold for a month because A school is full. What happens next and who would he be assigned to, school or stay at bc til there is room? He mentioned that he'll still be in GL doing whatever they need him to do.
