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 Sara on April 7, 2010 at 8:40pm: mikesproudmom - Thanks for the info on the Grad and Go. My son, Jason, is in Div 189. At least now we know.

Comment by grumsmom on April 7, 2010 at 8:38pm: Thanks Jessica, you always seem to have the answers we are looking for. I'm sooo excited.

Comment by lovemysailor (ship 14 div 190) on April 7, 2010 at 7:36pm: Sailormoesgirl- san diego is great I lived there my whole like we'll 20 years of it. best place ever .....well to me atleast. Ya it would be nice to know there flight info I'm sure once it gets closer we will find out.

Comment by SNMoesWifey - STG on April 7, 2010 at 5:58pm: Grumsmom- I'm pretty sure that is what they get to do. From everyone I've heard from they say it takes a few hours (maybe like 5) to move. But after they are all settled in, they get to have the whole weekend with you. =)

Comment by grumsmom on April 7, 2010 at 5:15pm: thanks sailormoesgirl for the email address. I just emailed, my son is scheduled for A school in GL so I asked if they would confirm that he would just move him and then he'd have the weekend. I may get a "we can't answer that" but we'll see.
