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 April 8, 2013 at 12:39am: Hi Morgan, congratulations! You'll probably be in San Diego for 4-6 months. You'll leave immediately after boot camp graduation to head out here!

Comment by d o on April 7, 2013 at 11:59pm: If you are lucky you will be out there about a year.

Comment by mboin4992 on April 7, 2013 at 11:43pm: Hi guys I'm Morgan and I am a future sailor and STG, I ship out on 20130903. I am wondering how long you think I will be in San Diego for a school for. They told me 2 months, however, I have talked to other people and they said they were there for up to 10 months. I only signed for four years so I'm not attending c school

Comment by d o on April 7, 2013 at 11:03pm: I hope you'll get to attend PIR, it's not to be missed, and you will never forget it!

Comment by cme663 on April 5, 2013 at 9:19pm: Our son left voicemail saying PIR is May 31.

Comment by cme663 on April 1, 2013 at 10:18am: Hello. New here, taking our son to swear in tomorrow AM

We are in Maine

Comment by GMA of a Sonar Tech on January 31, 2013 at 2:11pm: My Grandson just started classes at GL after being on Hold since his PIR date of 12/21/12....can't wait for him to get to A school in San Diego...You are right SD in the best place for training...

Comment by phoebe stg2 on January 17, 2013 at 12:21am: Over the 18 months our son was in SD we went three times to visit. Go as often as you can. What a great time you and your sailor will have. Lots to do just not in June as it really is "June Gloom". LOL! Just go. Our son is now way over seas and I have no idea when we will be able to go see him. So I now cherish the time we spent with him in SD. FYI... the view at Bali Hai Restaurant, Shelter Island is the best... Goos Luck and give your son a big hug from me!

Comment by abuon18 on January 16, 2013 at 11:42pm: Hi Jordan's Mom, I bet your son is loving San Diego!

Like navymommo said hold times are unreliable. They are based on so many different things that can't be determined at this point but your son will know ahead of time. Also, while he is on hold it is not time off. He will still have to go to work every day. He won't be in school but they out them in other jobs. For Easter, they get out early on Thursday and have Good Friday off so he will still have a long weekend. Even if he has class or work, there is tons to do on your own in San Diego, and he should be done by 3 every day so you'll still get evenings with him if you decide to visit.
