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 abuon18 on May 23, 2013 at 5:08pm: I went to my husband's A school graduation at Point Loma. It is not like boot camp graduation.... I was the only guest.

Comment by navymommo on May 23, 2013 at 4:46pm: I went to a graduation at Point Loma. It was great. Not many parents come ( we were the only guests) and we were treated like VIPs It is a very short ceremony and photo op and then they have to report to holds and do paperwork unless they are reporting immediately. Message me if you have questions.

Comment by GMA of a Sonar Tech on May 23, 2013 at 3:26pm: Does anyone know about the "A" school graduation on June 11th from Sonar at Point Loma?

Comment by Barbydahlzz ALUM 09/075 USS JPJ on May 21, 2013 at 9:46am: jillymom.... HOOYAH

Comment by jillymom on May 20, 2013 at 5:22pm: It looks like a new A school class started today - hooyah!

Comment by jillymom on May 16, 2013 at 1:24pm: Youngestson, it's my understanding that the second to the last ATT class started last week or so; it will run about 7 wks plus holidays and your sailor would probably be in the last class.

Comment by Barbydahlzz ALUM 09/075 USS JPJ on May 14, 2013 at 2:12pm: I was there this last weekend with my sailor who's on board the USS JPJ.... Liberty Station is across the street THEY HAVE ICECREAM i was happy... hahha Liberty station is like a small mall with food ... it used to be RTC San Diego, my brother and my step dad went thru there for Navy Boot (I went to orlando) it looks sooooo different BUT AWESOME.... saw the STG school buildings... but didn't see any sailors :-( but I waved at who ever's kids are there now...hahhaha HOOYAH

Comment by abuon18 on May 11, 2013 at 5:11pm: It's gorgeous! The base is right on the bay across from the airport. It's close to the beaches too.... Bus stop right across from base will take them there!

Comment by jillymom on May 11, 2013 at 3:52pm: Thanks, abuon18. Wow, he called this morning and said he phased up already and is able to leave base for day liberty. He also said they won't class up for at least a couple weeks. He's happy he's not bunking so close to the ceiling and his room has a microwave and fridge; plus he said the chow is great. Point Loma looks like a beautiful place to be from the pic I found. And yes, youngestson, according to my sailor only 2 more ATT classes at GL.
