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 navymom17 on September 6, 2013 at 8:27pm: Thank you mmsono24 and fredsmom, what is TPU? And mmsono24 where did your boyfriend stay while waiting?

Comment by fredsmom on September 6, 2013 at 8:22pm: My son was there exactly 2 months. They are in TPU until classes start, yoeman school is about 5 weeks, then TPU until they get there orders. One of my sons fellow bootcamp/A school shipmate was there in TPU a month after A school was over because he had to stay until he got his orders for his first duty station.

Comment by msonunz24 on September 6, 2013 at 7:26pm: @navymom17 it's only suppose to be about 5 to 6 weeks. My boyfriend is almost done, but he had to wait 3 weeks before he could even start class, some of his other classmates waited a month or longer.
