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 MyAngel94 (Ship 14 Div 317) on October 16, 2012 at 12:35pm: Financially I don’t think I can afford to fly to San Antonio since we all just got back from Chicago for PIR but I know my family will not be complete on Thanksgiving without my baby girl. I don’t know how many sailors will have family there during this time and don’t want her to be alone. Does anyone know if they have any special dinner or anything for Thanksgiving?

Comment by SailorB-Man,Ship3,Div330 on October 15, 2012 at 2:36pm: My son has been using s Shipmates phone since we did not go to the airport because he said they would rather us not ( I am sure it is because of the amount of families there), anyway I just $140.00 getting him his electronics and some personal items sent to him. Hopefully he gets them by friday. Looking forward to learning some things about MA life.

Comment by lemonelephant on October 14, 2012 at 4:32pm: Yes, that agrees with what I've posted in the Break down week by week discusson above.

SR (SA or SN) LAST NAME, FIRST NAME

PSC 3

1320 TRUEMPER ST.

LACKLAND AFB, TX 78236

(Sometimes they have them include the Class number either next to the name or after the street, but that is the address. If the Sailor is in Holding. It will be PSC 3 HOLDING.)

Comment by BP's mom Ship 003 Div 337 on October 14, 2012 at 4:09pm: Just got a call from my SA - got to Lackland AFB just fine yesterday. He gave me an address and I'm hoping someone can confirm it's correct:

SA ******, ***** *

PSC3 1320 Truemper St.

Class NMT

Lackland AFB, TX 78236

Just want to make sure before I ship out his cell & ipod. Thanks!!

Comment by lemonelephant on October 14, 2012 at 1:57pm: Niffer, yes, there are pay phones or your Sailor can borrow a cell phone from another Sailor. You can use the address in the Break down week by week to send things to him.

Comment by Niffer on October 14, 2012 at 10:30am: Hi all! I'm new here! My son had PIR on Friday! :). He flew on on Sat and I haven't heard from him yet. He doesn't have his cell yet - are there / are they allowed to use pay phones? I'm starting to get worried...

Comment by lemonelephant on October 12, 2012 at 11:22pm: Welcome BP's mom. Check out the top 3 discussions above and they should give you some good info about what to expect in the next 7 weeks or so.

Comment by BP's mom Ship 003 Div 337 on October 12, 2012 at 11:19pm: Hi everyone! I'm a newbie...my son just had his PIR today!!! I have learned so much on this site in the bootcamp page, so now it's your turn...he leaves for Lackland tomorrow afternoon. I really don't know too much so school me please. Thanks!!

Comment by lemonelephant on October 12, 2012 at 4:11pm: MyAngel94 and bullindy, Your Sailors will be the ones to know when the graduation is. Since it is a small ceremony and not many families attend, they move it around based on what is happening at the base.

Comment by MyAngel94 (Ship 14 Div 317) on October 12, 2012 at 10:28am: Thank you Bullindy, It would be nice if it changed back to the November date ;)
