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 NavyMom13 on July 8, 2014 at 1:40pm: TRESSA it depends on where his position is needed. He could go anywhere! They do ask them their top 3 picks (east coast/west coast or over seas) but their choice has less to do with it than where they are needed. My Daughter go her second choice.

Comment by TRESSA on July 8, 2014 at 1:17pm: mom son is LS.. any clue where his next station might be?

Comment by NavyMom13 on July 8, 2014 at 11:49am: My Daughter just left Meridian. I spent a week there with her a couple of weeks ago.

Comment by tdawns05... Ship 03, Div 200 on July 7, 2014 at 9:24pm: Is there any Mom/Wife with a loved one in Meridian, MS now?

Comment by rockenrobin on June 28, 2014 at 8:06pm: Whats the sailors rating not the rates that will get the sailor to his duty station SH,LS,AZ. Diego Garcia is for Sub Tenders a job would have to open up on one of the Tenders USS Emery Land. Pray for something closer to you. Diego Garcia is a 2 year stay min

Comment by americanavy1 on June 28, 2014 at 6:40am: So E2 or E3 most chance for duty station is Diego Garcia?

Comment by rockenrobin on June 21, 2014 at 1:33pm: good morning deb don't ever count on the three choices on his first duty station. Depends on his rate and the need for his job.He could end up in Diego Garcia look that up. E1 out of bc E2 when he gets to his duty station E3 when he deployed at sea and E4 and higher he'll have to test to promote. If he has a higher education he can jump and skip the lower ones. Anytime you need help were here for you GOOD LUCK

Comment by deb on June 21, 2014 at 8:42am: Good morning! This site isn't nearly as active as the one for BC. But I still have much to learn. My son said he was asked for 3 choices for his 1st orders...how lucky will he be to get one of those choices? And doesn't he need to be E-2 before going overseas? He doesn't have many answers for me when I ask, so I was hoping someone else would be able to help me?
