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 HuskerFan on February 13, 2014 at 11:36pm: My son actually got to be a part of Captain's Mass so he got to hear - basically 1 sailor went into another sailors room (which is a no no) and then was telling other shipmates that he did it. A commander or someone overheard the conversation and that's how they lost privileges. Fortunately my son is close enough to graduating that his class didn't, but pretty much anyone new doesn't get it.

Comment by D'sMom on February 13, 2014 at 9:29pm: I didnt hear what happened just that they all lost privileges

Comment by HuskerFan on February 13, 2014 at 9:26pm: It's really sad when 1 person has to ruin it for all the rest! Sigh...

Comment by D'sMom on February 13, 2014 at 9:25pm: I heard that too

Comment by HuskerFan on February 13, 2014 at 9:19pm: Just thought I'd give everyone a heads up that Class 090 is the last one with 'privileges'. There will no longer be phases for the guys/gals after the class 090 - effective as of yesterday!

Comment by knitmare on February 12, 2014 at 7:59am: My son said that after his group they are increasing A school from 7-13 weeks?

Comment by Huskies on February 10, 2014 at 4:35pm: Hi lemonelephant! My son arrived in San Antonio late Saturday night. Any good advice for a new arrival?

Comment by lemonelephant on February 10, 2014 at 2:55pm: :o)

Comment by HuskerFan on February 10, 2014 at 12:12pm: Personnel/personal - my bad - sorry!

Comment by lemonelephant on February 9, 2014 at 11:13pm: As far as the meals, they get BAS and they also get paid. How many jobs pay for every meal you eat on top of the regular salary? Mine certainly didn't/doesn't.
