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 saval11 on May 10, 2015 at 6:54pm: But I have a question. I can't go to PIR, I'll be traveling, to of all places, TX!!. I want to see her there and am wondering, does anyone know how I can arrange to meet up with her on Sunday. Will she be staying on base until she can present her orders? Can I get on base and have her called to meet me at one of the buildings there?

Comment by MA mom of KY on May 10, 2015 at 1:35am: Is there a graduation ceremony from "A" school and if so how do I get more information on the breakdown of what will be taking place during his time in A school

Comment by lemonelephant on April 5, 2015 at 7:14pm: Navyvetwife48, does your Sailor have her cell phone? If so, she can make calls when not on duty or in class and she won't be on duty yet. If she has her cell phone, call her. If she doesn't have her cell phone, then she may not have discovered the pay phones.

Comment by Navyvetwife48 on April 5, 2015 at 6:53pm: Hi I would like to know how long does it take for San Antonio MA to process new Sailors, so that the Sailor's can call home? My daughter graduated 4/03 and left yesterday "Saturday", are there any restrictions where they cannot call home, I'm looking for a phone call from her? any information I would be grateful to receive, Thank You so much

Comment by Cindy Seitel on March 30, 2015 at 10:10am: My son is graduating on 4/10....Can anyone tell me what the logistics are such as where we go and what time we should arrive?

Comment by lemonelephant on March 25, 2015 at 2:44pm: Everyone, take time to read http://navylive.dodlive.mil/2015/03/23/4-things-to-know-about-opsec.... You may have some changes to make to your N4M profile, so also read OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes to Your Profile).

Comment by lemonelephant on March 9, 2015 at 9:14pm: 12raynes, See Break down week by week above. "A" School 7 weeks after classing up. Check your My Page for more info and groups.

Comment by 12raynes on March 9, 2015 at 11:43am: My son just started A school, he is going in MA, I'm just trying to figure out exactly this will be and approximately how long

Comment by lemonelephant on February 24, 2015 at 10:13pm: Only he can tell you what is going on.

Comment by MJsproudmom on February 13, 2015 at 11:36pm: My son has a completely clean record. There is nothing negative as far as credit, criminal, drugs, etc. He found out because of his medical waiver, he would not be eligible for the PRP program. I am confused as to whether he has his clearance, but does not have the clearance needed for PRP. My son seems to think he doesn't have his clearance at all, but it would seem to me that he would have something if he finished boot and then classed up in A school if he didn't at least have the clearance needed to do the job. Am I wrong to think that?
