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 Amberw27 on August 19, 2013 at 10:13pm: aboun18 Thanks so much for your great information. Kinda sad we wont be moving close any time soon. But thats ok. (:

Comment by abuon18 on August 19, 2013 at 9:15pm: Hi Amber!
My husband had A & C school orders to Point Loma as well, here's the deal. Since the orders are written separately -a set of orders for A school then a set for C school, the Navy won't pay for you to move to be with him for A school. Once he gets his C school orders those are almost always longer than 6 months so they will move you. We paid to move me so I could be with him during A and C school because it made the most sense for us for many reasons. So you can either move yourself to be with him for A and C school (you'll get BAH for where ever you are living) or you can hang tight & they'll move you when he begins C school anyway! Feel free to PM me with any questions!

Comment by Amberw27 on August 19, 2013 at 9:07pm: Hi I have so many questions but not sure what i can post and what i cant. so i will wisely word my questions. lol....Husband is heading to A school soon. Does anyone know when the families can move with. We have already been away from each other for around 5 months. Not as long for some. But would like to be closer soon. Since he has not been stationed anywhere for longer then 6 months we cant move with. He will be going to A school and C school in the same area so was wondering if anyone had any ideas. Or experiances with this situation. thanks (:

Comment by jillymom on August 16, 2013 at 3:09pm: Very grateful, GMA, my Sailor is terrible at this kind of stuff. My Mom is in Murrieta, so I visit when I can.

Comment by jillymom on August 15, 2013 at 8:52pm: July 23. :-D

Comment by GMA of a Sonar Tech on August 15, 2013 at 8:21pm: I will ask my grandson...all he did was E-Mail me the pictures that they took...I will let you know...when did you son have his A school grad?

Comment by jillymom on August 15, 2013 at 8:07pm: Maybe Oct; I was told this by another 6 yr STG at A school grad. Not my son... Still hoping to find out exactly where my Sailor can pick up the CD of A school grad.

Comment by GMA of a Sonar Tech on August 15, 2013 at 7:57pm: Has anyone heard when the students will be classing up to "C" School...

Comment by Barbydahlzz ALUM 09/075 USS JPJ on August 14, 2013 at 6:09pm: Sharla..... this is how it was for my sailor. it was March 2012.... had all day liberty after PIR on friday... brought him back to base around 1900hrs He left for OHARE at 0400hrs i think.. they hang out in the USO for a while... thats where i found him at 0645hrs his flight to San Diego was scheduled to depart at 1600hrs got to spend the whole day with my sailor inside Ohare, you can get a gate pass as well keep intouch with your sailor about staying till sunday stuff.
