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 trapier on August 17, 2011 at 2:36pm: I remember our SR's recruiter telling us that before she is finished with A School, she will be given a list of locations and she would choose 3 locations from that list. Hopefully she would get stationed at one of the three locations that she picked. Of course there are NEVER any guarantees.

Comment by SailorsCupcake Div269 on August 17, 2011 at 2:34pm: I know! Way too soon to say goodbye again!!! But he will be back in July!

Comment by Sparkling on August 17, 2011 at 2:31pm: 4 months? ACK!

Comment by SailorsCupcake Div269 on August 17, 2011 at 2:30pm: Yeah probably because their A School is so short... they need to know so they can make preparations. I just never would have dreamed that it would happen THAT fast! lol

Comment by SailorsCupcake Div269 on August 17, 2011 at 2:26pm: I know! It's all happening very quickly... and he will be deploying 4 months later!!! AH!!! Someone hit the slow motion button!!!

Comment by Sparkling on August 17, 2011 at 2:23pm: Holy cow!!

Comment by SailorsCupcake Div269 on August 17, 2011 at 2:22pm: His Command Career Counselor called me and gave me all the information. He will be done with A School on Sept 16th and we will be moving to our new station by the 21st of Sept!!!

Comment by Sparkling on August 17, 2011 at 2:20pm: SailorsCupcake, how did you find all that out? All we know for our son is where he is going for A School.

Comment by SailorsCupcake Div269 on August 17, 2011 at 2:16pm: I don't mean A School, I mean his actual orders... he's undesignated so his job is just a "Seaman"... we already know where he's going to be stationed, what ship he's stationed to and when he's getting deployed...

Comment by TexasLiz on August 17, 2011 at 2:07pm: I just got my Husband's A-school orders in the mail. At least I think. It says the date he has to report to Great Lakes and when his class starts and finishes. It also came with a lot of information and websites about moving, HHG, and other support websites. And I also received his LES.
