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 December 7, 2014 at 9:18am: navygirlfriend: Your sailor will receive his duty station orders while in A School....usually "verbal" first with "written" shortly after that. If he is top of his class, he has a choice in where he goes (depending on Navy's needs, of course!). My son's class was delayed in getting orders when he was there and many were stuck on base there for several weeks after completing A School, but that is not always the case, although there can be a small delay between graduation and final (written) orders being issued. They get Leave before they report to their duty stations usually. The Navy pays for their way from A School to duty station....any deviation to go on Leave first is on the sailor's "dime" but it works and only costs $30 to change the flights (at least when my son was there in 2010).

Good Morning!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on December 7, 2014 at 4:59am: navygirlfriend11 - Ummm, so I don't read so good that early in the AM I guess:-/

This is what you asked and I answered it incorrectly...sparking off more answers to mine. So sorry:

"Does anyone know where my boyfriend will go after A school? Or does only he know that."

So NOW veterean Moms respond to that one as I can't...mine is a reservist and came home after A school and reported to his NOSC - Navy Operational Support Center.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on December 7, 2014 at 4:53am: Thank you to those who have served and those currently serving our Nation.

      I have put my trust in the Lord God,

      that I may declare all Your works."

Comment by diannep on December 6, 2014 at 4:03pm: ...but the "short" of it is....rating is their "job."

So read the page I provided the link to, study it....there WILL be a test! HAA!

Comment by diannep on December 6, 2014 at 4:02pm: navygirlfriend: Here is a page to explain it, because it can be confusing!

Comment by navygirlfriend11 on December 6, 2014 at 2:11pm: What exactly does rating mean? He's going to A school in Pensacola, Florida after basic.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on December 6, 2014 at 1:54pm: Your welcome on the video. I will most likely post one everyday...I love the fun features on here, and just like to try and post something entertaining too :-)

I will post a variety, and yes, some will be plain silly!
