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 Bobbie (Chris' mom)-MAA mom on September 25, 2010 at 10:05am: Thanks hurleyl8dy! Find it hard to fit in here after having such close friendships on my PIR group. It's like starting all over again. Not sure what questions to ask as I know nothing about the MA rate other than what I have been reading. Chris has only been at A-school for a few days and doesn't actually start classes until Monday or Tuesday.

Comment by hurleyl8dyShip6Div943PIR9/10/10 on September 25, 2010 at 9:55am: Hi Bobbie, welcome to San Antonio "A" school group.

Comment by Rhonda Ship14 DIV274 (PIR 8-13) on September 22, 2010 at 7:43pm: Kimmydee,Zach is going to Maryland.

Comment by Bobbie (Chris' mom)-MAA mom on September 22, 2010 at 5:23pm: Hello everyone! My son just arrived in Texas on Tuesday. He sounded in much better spirits today than he did at boot camp (thank goodness...lol). He is very excited. I am not sure what to expect but I know this site was a godsend to get me through boot camp. Look forward to chatting with all of you!!

Comment by junjens (DIV 291 PIR 9-2) on September 22, 2010 at 8:32am: Miranda's mom, thank you!

Comment by Rhonda Ship14 DIV274 (PIR 8-13) on September 22, 2010 at 6:53am: So, today is the day....(maybe) that we find out where our MA's will be stationed....excited and nervous!!

Comment by hurleyl8dyShip6Div943PIR9/10/10 on September 21, 2010 at 4:39pm: My son asked me to send his also. He needed it by Friday. He doesn't have a Pass Port so this is probably why.
