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 SalsMom on July 23, 2013 at 2:25am: Does anyone know how the new Sailors are paired up in Mississippi? Do they room with one or more and with someone going over with them or with someone who is already in Mississippi?

Comment by Mrs. David's mom on July 22, 2013 at 5:29am: Yes, they can have cell phones and laptops during A-School. And, after they get their 'green dot' they can leave base on their days off. After boot camp, A-School seems like a walk in the park!

Comment by Jessmgg on July 22, 2013 at 4:31am: Hi ! My husband is going to mississipi for a school next month, but jst a question can i give to him his cellphone and his laptob at the airport, after the PIR ?

Comment by SalsMom on July 19, 2013 at 7:58pm: Hi, My son's PIR is July 26th then off to Mississipi for A school. We are from Michigan. I'm new to all of this so any information I can get would be helpful

Comment by smurfette84 on July 16, 2013 at 4:53pm: Hello to everyone, my SR doesn't get to Meridian until beginning of Oct but I decided to go ahead and join your group. I hope to learn from everyone what to expect. He leave for BC 7/31; he will be an AZ.

Comment by diannep on July 10, 2013 at 11:29pm: Ke'neisha: Each base has its own rules, but he will have to "phase up" before staying off the base overnight. That takes a good while. He will know about this once he goes through "Indoc" after arriving on the base. Since he will be able to stay in touch with you with phone/laptop once at A School, he can keep you posted! I do believe that you can visit him ON THE BASE relatively quickly, but off base takes longer.

Comment by Ke'neisha on July 7, 2013 at 7:43pm: He is going as LS

Comment by Navymom21 on July 7, 2013 at 2:48pm: Keneisha....what rate is your son? Mine got there the week before

Comment by Ke'neisha on July 3, 2013 at 7:31pm: My sailor graduated bootcamp today and will be flying out to mississippi tonight, I would like to know will he be able to stay off base if he doesn't have duty or watch ? I'm wanting to visit as soon as possible ! Thankx in advance
