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 lemonelephant on August 28, 2013 at 10:16pm: How I choose to react is my fault, not yours, and I chose to react by being hurt, rather than just letting it pass. You both chose to react to my comments by thinking the worst of me and I took offense.....

Comment by lemonelephant on August 28, 2013 at 10:08pm: I meant no harm in my posts. Right now, you two have me in tears, so I perhaps we all need to take a step back and take a deep breath and realize that we are here for each other.

Comment by lemonelephant on August 28, 2013 at 9:56pm: Brysmom, No, I did not know what you were referring to.

Comment by Brysmom on August 28, 2013 at 9:51pm: meant visine which you knew. I might need to find another chat if we are graded on our typing.

Comment by lemonelephant on August 28, 2013 at 6:46pm: Brysmom, also, how can you pack "vision"?

Comment by lemonelephant on August 28, 2013 at 6:44pm: Brysmom, check Break down week by week.

Comment by lemonelephant on August 28, 2013 at 6:43pm: Gabesmom, baby shampoo, not baby oil.

Comment by Brysmom on August 28, 2013 at 12:40pm: Question

My SR PIR 13th, then the SA for MA school. I have read in some forums that we should pack vision, dawn dish soap and baby shampoo(small bottles) for when they get sprayed?????

Comment by Laura68 on August 25, 2013 at 8:45am: My son is on schedule to graduate Sept 27th... Can not wait..

Comment by lemonelephant on August 17, 2013 at 11:35pm: NavyMAMom, 8 weeks is the average time at Lackland. If there are no problems, the Sailor's time at Lackland can be as short as 7 weeks if your Sailor classes up immediately or as long as 10 weeks if there is a large group arriving, but HOLD times have been 1 or 2 weeks lately. Most have only accrued 10 days of Leave after completing "A" School (2.5 days per month of service). See Break down week by week.
