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 jillymom on April 14, 2013 at 6:05am: Mike'sMom; I'm not the really savvy one, but ATT school is electronics core class the Sailors do before A class. Is your sailor in for 4 years?

Comment by Mike'sMomShip03Div171 on April 13, 2013 at 8:54pm: Thank you jillymom - I did read the previous conversation but wasn't sure if this was the same as my son's situation. Sorry for the duplication but thanks again for your response. So here's a new question - what is ATT school? I assume it's not doing something for AT&T! :) Many thanks-

Comment by jillymom on April 13, 2013 at 8:03pm: Hi, Mike'sMom; We've been kind of discussing this subject below. If your son signed up for 6 yrs, he will probably complete ATT school at GL before going to SD for A school.

Comment by Mike'sMomShip03Div171 on April 13, 2013 at 7:24pm: Hi, all. Hoping you can help me. My son is in the STG program (not sure if that's the right wording). He's currently at Great Lakes and has PIR on 5/3/13 (less than 3 weeks away!!!). I received a letter yesterday indicating that while he understood he would be leaving for San Diego the day after PIR, he is going to be in Great Lakes for nine weeks before going to SD. He didn't say why. Does anyone have any insight into why he now has a 9-week stay in GL? Many thanks in advance for your perspective! Enjoy your weekend-

Comment by GMA of a Sonar Tech on April 11, 2013 at 3:07pm: Had a wonderful visit with our grandson at A School in San Diego...sure can tell the difference...he is now quite a young man....he will be there for a couple of years he thinks..since he signed up for 6 years...I guess after A school will be C school than he will be deployed....can't wait to visit him again this summer....

Comment by Barbydahlzz ALUM 09/075 USS JPJ on April 8, 2013 at 1:57pm: Hi Morgan FIRST OF ALL CONGRATS!!!! My sailor is also a 4 yr STG .. he got to San Diego right after boot Mar 2012.. was on hold for a couple weeks then started... grad A school in May and was on hold again til late july... then went to OPS School... finished that in Sept and waiting almost a month to go to his ship.. so it really wasnt long at all.. He's on board the John Paul Jones now, and they are in port right there in SD for quite a while more.. Best of luck to you and if you have any questions or just want to talk we moms hang out here often ... Im also a Veteran sailor myself.... WELCOME TO THE WORLDS BEST NAVY!!!!

Comment by navymommo on April 8, 2013 at 11:37am: HI Morgan!

I wish you the best of luck as you begin this wonderful vventure. My son is a 4 year STG he was in San Diego for exactly 1 year (with holds, etc) He completed A school and waited... and then C school. It was a little frustrating because timing is everything. You can wait for three months for a class to begin if you are the first one on the list, or you can be the final person to complete a class and walk right in the door and begin immediately. No way of telling which you will be. San Diego is great-- tell your folks to plan a visit. We attended the A school graduation and were treated like celebrities as most parents didn't attend- our sailor was happy for us to visit. Best of luck to you!

Comment by abuon18 on April 8, 2013 at 11:08am: ATT is only for those who signed 6 year contracts and are attending C school as well.

Comment by jillymom on April 8, 2013 at 1:41am: Hey, Morgan; You will probably complete ATT school at Great Lakes before you go to San Diego. Hurry up and wait!
