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 Anita n Ohio on September 26, 2011 at 10:58am: Daughter had misc classes last week (basic stuff on items all Sailors should know). Today, starting classes at GL on who-knows-what. She called Friday night, talked for 2.5 hrs, asking for civilian clothes, hoping to be in Stage 2 before she comes home for Liberty (October 10ish). Has 4 other girls in her room, one on hold for over 3 weeks before she learns where her A School will be. Room inspections on tuesdays BUT - daughter was caught off-guard on a surprise inspection (had items out that should of been put away). Got "dinged" on it but otherwise it went well. Before I know it, I'll be sending care packages where it will take 3 weeks for her to receive.

Comment by Pennie on September 26, 2011 at 10:43am: mine starts classes as well today.

Comment by dvel2003 on September 25, 2011 at 11:22pm: My son starts class tomorrow in Goose creek SC

Comment by DesertMom on September 25, 2011 at 7:02pm: After spending a few extra days in Great Lakes to finish up some paperwork my son is now in Groton. I don't know when his actual class start.

Comment by tina41 on September 25, 2011 at 11:55am: hello everyone!!

my son is suppose to start school this coming monday he is a little worried about being able to handle the school work please pray for all of them to have the confidence to get through school!! they know we are here to support them, but we can only do so much (unfornuately)! prayer is a powerful thing!!!

Comment by wisegal on September 25, 2011 at 10:19am: calbransmommy, my son is having the same problem, not much for them to do. I notice that he is starting to sleep way too much and it is going to be very hard for him to get back in the routine. He said the last group before them just classed up the Wednesday after they arrived so it may be a long time before they can class up now.

Comment by Anita n Ohio on September 25, 2011 at 10:15am: We have a friend who now works for the State Department. When they were doing the security clearance on him, he said his butt felt like the Holland Tunnel. The gov was finding people he had not talked to in over 15 years...yeah, they are very thorough to say the least! The high you go up, the more this will happen. Our friend served in the air force out of high school, he already had some levels of clearance but with the State Dept - a whole new level of "checking" - OUCH! lol

Comment by tygerh on September 25, 2011 at 6:14am: calbransmommy - my son is in Pensacola as well. His first class wont start until Oct. 22 so he is doing a lot of barrack support and watch as well. They set his school back so far because of him needing the security clearance okayed first.

Comment by wlbradford (Rota Spain) on September 23, 2011 at 10:28pm: Thank you tygerh! I'll be praying that your son passes clearance as well!!!

Comment by tygerh on September 23, 2011 at 10:16pm: wlbradford I am praying for your dtr as well. Hopefully she will find a few people that she can depend on and trust who can help her through this transition.
