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 Lovefuzzfaces on September 22, 2013 at 11:13am: My son graduates the Monday before. That must be their normal day.

Comment by redoctober on September 22, 2013 at 11:11am: My son who has been in the Navy for about 18 months now, the Navy offered him a rate change to MAA. His orders take him to Lackland for A school, on Monday Oct 7th and then gradulation is set for Monday November 25th. I know that week is Thanksgiving week, is that why gradulation is on a Monday instead of the normal Friday. Anybody else ever here of this?

Comment by Jordan'Mom Ship 13 Div 333 on September 22, 2013 at 10:56am: Can anyone tell me if there is lodging available on base for the MA pining ceremony? If so how do you go about reserving? I would like to attend my sons pinning in November but I am disabled and do not drive. I need be able to make this as accessible as possible with travel.

Comment by Laura68 on September 22, 2013 at 9:52am: So excited, headed to San Antonio Wednesday for my son's graduation... then I get to spend time with him.. unlike when he graduated from Boot Camp...

Hope everyone's Sailor's are doing as well as mine..

Comment by lemonelephant on September 22, 2013 at 1:52am: sglen, I hope your Sailor has been to medical about the pneumonia and is getting it addressed.

Comment by lemonelephant on September 22, 2013 at 1:51am: If your Sailor doesn't have a cell phone, he will have to borrow one to make a call (most Sailors are good about helping out thier shipmates) or use a pay phone until he buys a cell phone or receives his in the mail from you.

Comment by Lovefuzzfaces on September 21, 2013 at 11:56pm: Yea, haven't heard anything either. He hasn't go his phone yet. He told me he has been dealing with pneumonia so that is a worry.

Comment by lemonelephant on September 21, 2013 at 11:50pm: tashaalexiona, from now on your Sailor decides who and when to call unless he is in class or on duty. It can be a bit interesting the first few days as the new Sailor gets used to new freedoms and a new place.
