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 Parrothdgal on June 25, 2011 at 9:34am: sheesh I have no idea...lol! Where is everyone go? Sorta sad that it's so quiet here! Well let me just share a pic. My Sailor is kicking some tail in MA school! She passes her OC written and course test Friday!

Comment by Giraffe on June 25, 2011 at 6:48am: ow at least they get a chance to class up again..

Yeah.. he is so organized he purchased ribbons to go on all his Navy clothes so all he has to do is put them on and go and not worry about if he has the ribbons on them correctly or not.. LOL.. wonder if he can do that with collar candy...:o).. I'm sure I'll find out when he lets me know how school is going..

Also, his rank according to his contract is what it should've been upon entering BC , and he was to rank up when BC was completed... Will he rank up when he phases up in "A" school or does he have to request it?

Comment by Parrothdgal on June 22, 2011 at 6:18am: They start over and have to class-up allover again. I guess they might study a little more this time! lol Giraffe...how nice!

Comment by Giraffe on June 21, 2011 at 8:18pm: @ reenis35.. it does all seem sureal doesn't it.. our Sailors are well on their way to a in their new life.. it is awsome..

@ Parrothdgal.. She classed up Fantastic!!.. I didn't realize so many didn't make it, but as far as you know they are still trying to pass.. correct?

My son called last night and advised he has received some collar candy.. Guess that is where they get insignia for their collars for all to view what rank etc they are.

Comment by Parrothdgal on June 20, 2011 at 9:30pm: Calssed-up today! Wooohoooo!

Comment by reenis35 on June 20, 2011 at 8:47pm: 17 days has passed wow seems like a life time ago.. my daughter was on ship 9 div 189 she is in A school in GL she actually just started class last week !

she has moved from ship to another and says they will be moving again in a few weeks. Doing well has made a few trips to Chicago has made friends and has some from her Div so all is well !!

Comment by Parrothdgal on June 19, 2011 at 9:35pm: Giraffe... Thank you! she is in TX @ Lackland AFB. Hopes to class-up tomorrow but 10 6-3 pir MA's failed a OC spray test and will have to start over. so 10 of her class will get bumped...ugh. But all is good if it's not waiting @ boot camp!

Comment by Giraffe on June 19, 2011 at 7:34pm: I come by at least twice a week and see who has been here.. It is good to see some have continued to contact.. I go to some others as well..

thanks for the video and pic of the 100.. that was the bomb as my son would say.

Parrothdgal I was so thrilled that your daughter made it through BC.. My son starts his A school on Monday 6/20 also, but he's in P'cola.. I don't remember where your daughter ended up.

Again Congratulations to all from graduation date of 6/3.. It seems like it took so long to get here from the time they entered BC and now seems so long ago. but I'm sure the Navy will keep us on our toes as it were..
