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 proud4son85 on May 1, 2011 at 4:59pm: HI

My son stayed in GL for A school. He just finisned INDOC and will be starting school on Monday. He is adjusting to school life. He has three other roommates and they are at different stages. Its hard finding another group than you guys. Miss you all kind of nice seeing you make comments in there. Take care.

Comment by Linda on May 1, 2011 at 12:34pm: It's hard to believe it has only been a little over a week since PIR. My sailor is in Charleston SC for nuke school. Even though it is very humid, he still likes it better that GL. He said that A school classes start this week for him. Their rooms are like college dorms - 2 to a room and a bathroom for every 2 rooms. Not too bad...

Comment by J'smomAME-Norfolk on May 1, 2011 at 11:40am: Mine just got to Pcola. Sent his phone and DS yesterday. He will start INDOC classes tomorrow.

Comment by annamichael on May 1, 2011 at 11:31am: Same momcarla! It seems most of my N4M's time is spent in the P'cola groups. My sailor, Michael, is at P'cola for IT ATF A school. He has 2 roommates and three other guys are their "suitemates" Out of the six guys, 5 are from Division 144. SO happy he knew a lot of the guys. Their names are: Kersaint, Morgan, Long, Brown, ...And I honestly cannot remember the other 1 :( Sorry, guy. Anyways, do any of you know those sailors? Michael said the past few days have been intro classes - financial planning, sexual harassment, do and don'ts on base, etc. He is loving the weather! Apparently, they grilled out yesterday?? Wow. totally different than BC. :D

Hope everyone and their sailor is well!!!

Comment by momcarla on April 30, 2011 at 10:39am: Hope everyone is doing well, it seems as if this past week has flown by. Would love to hear how everyone's sailors are doing.

Comment by Odi_Ship09_Div140 on April 29, 2011 at 10:08pm: It is hard to know where to start - moving forward means leaving friends. Thank you everyone for the kind support

Comment by Pearl Harbor MA on April 28, 2011 at 10:33pm: one is called San Antonio MA's and there is also one called A school moms. not much chatter going on though, seems like once they got out of Boot Camp -BOOM no one's talking anymore!! :)

Comment by Dawn on April 27, 2011 at 11:15am: we didn't make it to the meet and greet! We got to our rooms and were so exhausted that we all just fell asleep...everyone woke up about 7:30...so we ordered Pizza! I was sorry to miss it, but apparently sleep was the priority!

Comment by Odi_Ship09_Div140 on April 27, 2011 at 12:09am: PIR was awesome, Sailor thin but motivated and very positive. Sarge (taxi driver) was so helpful. Without his guidance our trip would not have been near as good. And navy Lodge and their staff is great! meet n greet was fun but seemed like I felt so emotional.
