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 Lynnie78 on July 27, 2015 at 8:16pm: Hello all.... While not quite here yet, my son will be LS on a sub. Can't wait to connect with all of you! My son will be sworn in tomorrow and off to boot camp!

Comment by Samson on July 2, 2015 at 4:45pm: It's in Mississippi. My son was there. He loves being LS on sub! Only in 2 years and already re-enlisting.

Comment by CarolP on February 22, 2015 at 9:35pm: My son is in boot camp and just got his letter saying he would be going to LSA school in Meredith, MI. I wonder if he wrote the wrong place? I only see Meridian , Mississippi . Does anyone know of an LS school in Michigsn?

Comment by Mama S on September 28, 2014 at 2:26pm: Also, thank you Lynda for your story. I've been worried about my son's path as an LS. Worried that he'd be stuck in an administrative role and become discouraged with mundane clerk tasks. He is fine with his role and wants to take the opportunity to further his education. So glad to hear about your son's success. It affirm's the prospect of my son's goals and intent. I can't thank you enough.

Comment by Mama S on September 28, 2014 at 2:21pm: Hello. I'm new to the group and have a few questions about departure and liberty following boot camp. I'm curious about other's experiences on the weekend following PIR. My son's PIR is 10/17 and I'm wondering if I should change my flight to depart home. Do they generally leave for A school in MS on Saturday or Sunday? Also, what has been the experience for liberty over the holidays and/ot in general?
