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 April on September 23, 2011 at 10:39pm: Hi everyone! I haven't been on this forum in a while...hope everyone is doing well. My husband graduated Rescue Swimmer School yesterday! He got Romeo for his A school platform so we will be here in Pensacola for at least 6 more months.

Comment by sharon on September 15, 2011 at 8:54pm: thats great that he got san diego. nick finally came home for the first time for labor day weekend . he just started A school 2 weeks ago.he sat around for a few weeks after tech school. he should be out of great lakes around jan or feb.

Comment by cyndaroo7 on September 15, 2011 at 1:47pm: Hi everyone! It's so nice to read all the new posts after graduation. I received our DVD and it was so cool to watch them coming in and it was much closer up than I got for my pictures! We could see the tension on his face for the big ceremony! haha. Got the keel book too, and was surprised there weren't more pics of his div. Well, he is finally coming home in about 2 weeks! Can't wait! He just graduated A-school at GL and will be going to San Diego! So he's still in CA. His 2nd choice was Japan. I'm sure he'll still be going there on the ship occasionally. He had a little hold up with his foot for a bit, so he doesn't get to immed. come home cuz it takes time to change the original ppwk I guess. I love how proud he is of himself! He did really well in school and got the best grade on the final tests in strand schl.

I really appreciate all the help this site was and all you nice ladies and gents were when we were going through the thick of it. Thanks so much!!

Comment by Valtameri on July 29, 2011 at 7:49pm: Hi Cali-Mom! Thanks for sharing what's up with your sailor! I don't know how I missed your update, but my computer has been fussy lately.

Comment by Cali-Mom (Beagles) on July 22, 2011 at 12:18pm: FYI, I changed my name setting from Cali-Mom (ship 12 div 160) to (Beagles)

Comment by Cali-Mom (Beagles) on July 22, 2011 at 12:16pm: Hi everyone, my son just received his orders to his new duty station. Portsmouth VA will be his new home after HM A school. He seemed happy with his choice. He had a chance to return to Cali (29 Palms) but decided to pick somewhere new. So I guess we will have to visit him in VA once he gets settled. He gets to come home for a week before he has to report to his new duty. His gradution will be Aug 15. Class 150.

I hope everyone is doing well and that your SR is happy and healthy. Thank you all for the support since Day 1. God Bless.

Comment by Jsparkle (MM Wife) on July 5, 2011 at 10:58pm: jbird- im here with my husband so we are in housing together. i dont think my husband knows your son since they arent in the same class but he would know his roommate since hes an MM. MMs do leave sooner cause A school is only 3 months for them isnstead of 6 months like EMs and ETs have.

Comment by Jsparkle (MM Wife) on July 5, 2011 at 8:39am: jbird-what rate is your son? my husbands an MM and we are in south carolina too

Comment by Valtameri on June 29, 2011 at 6:24pm: I got the DVD, but it didn't play well on the first player that I tried. I still need to try it here at home.

Comment by jbird on June 24, 2011 at 8:37pm: Hi everyone,

so good to see some of us kind of re-uniting after a while. Sounds like your guys and girls are doing well which is great to hear. My son is enjoying his nuke school in south carolina. Still a long way to go but he's learing and enjoying his classes. He really like visitng Charleston and loves the sushi (not for me, doesn't sound appealing!) He graduates A school in November then continues on with more schooling after a 10 day break. Can not wait to see him. Did anyone else get the dvd of PIR?
