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 joshswife(Ship11Div212)PIR06/11 on August 25, 2010 at 10:56pm: My husband graduates A school on Friday

Comment by hurleyl8dyShip6Div943PIR9/10/10 on August 25, 2010 at 9:56pm: Hi everyone, My son's PIR is 9/10. He told me he will ship out to San Antonio on 9/14 but as late as 9/21. Is this because classes for "A" school start at certain times? Do they stay then at GL's until the class opens or do they go to SA and wait there? Thanks

Comment by Amber-Brad's mom on August 25, 2010 at 8:21pm: Susan, Brad informed he that was there start date, I think it was on his orders. He called from Atlanta and he also called me today, so yes they all made it, you should get a call soon, so he can give you his address, so you can send there phone, laptop and stuff. I saw the pics of your son on 8/20 group, he looks so happy. Is one of the females you in the picture outside the hotel?

Comment by Mississippi Mom on August 25, 2010 at 12:02pm: Amber-Brad's mom, I sent my son packages to the address that he gave to me, and he got them both. I was hesitant to send the second one, since he had not received the first one, but did it anyway, and he received both of them. If you ship UPS just make sure you pack securely, as the boxes are very damaged, thankfully the contents were okay.

Comment by Amber-Brad's mom on August 24, 2010 at 3:57pm: Question, since they have to pick up packaes at the mail room/post office, does everyone have the same address, if so does anyone have the address of where to send packages to?

Comment by Amber-Brad's mom on August 24, 2010 at 1:42pm: Hello everyone, My son is on his way, plane leaves this aftertoon. Can't wait to get to know all of you. Son said he starts class on Sep 6th, I think, anyone else?

Comment by junjens (DIV 291 PIR 9-2) on August 20, 2010 at 3:42pm: Thanks Kimmydee!! that is good info! woo hoo

Comment by junjens (DIV 291 PIR 9-2) on August 20, 2010 at 12:16pm: My son's PIR is 9-2, on 9-3 he heads for San Antonio MAA A-school. He was asking me if I could find out about the living space or any other important info. Can anyone here point me in the right direction or do you have any tips for me. I have been reading as much as I can here, but haven't found specific info for him. Thanks!

Comment by Matthewswife on August 19, 2010 at 11:45am: Carolinagirl - My husband got orders to Washington as well! We'll be moving there at the end of September. We're both from Philly so this is a big move for us too!!

Comment by lemonelephant on August 17, 2010 at 8:13pm: Yes, Kimmydee, you can send things UPS, but DON'T. Use the USPS flat rate boxes when you can. There is no mail call at Lackland like there was at BC. Your Sailor will need to go to the mail room to get any mail or packages.
