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 Barbydahlzz ALUM 09/075 USS JPJ on April 28, 2012 at 8:33am: ahh, hope so!!! my sailor finds out his orders with the next week or so.. then has OPS school

Comment by abuon18 on April 27, 2012 at 11:25pm: Right now we're still in San Diego. He is a 6year so he still has C school which starts at the end of May. We'll be here for another year at least before we find out his orders! Hopefully we get to stay though :)

Comment by Barbydahlzz ALUM 09/075 USS JPJ on April 24, 2012 at 8:19pm: Hi ubuon... Exactly, who wouldn't hahahah.... He finds out in the next week or so where his duty station will be..where is your hubby?

Comment by abuon18 on April 23, 2012 at 10:33pm: Hi barbydahlzz.... I'm glad he's enjoying San Diego!! I can't imagine why he wouldn't though :) it's fantastic out here! Has he heard where he will be stationed yet?

Comment by Barbydahlzz ALUM 09/075 USS JPJ on April 23, 2012 at 9:17pm: Hi abuon18.... just got a txt from my sailor, said he's in week 2 of 4 week BAA part of school... he LOVES it there...

Comment by abuon18 on April 23, 2012 at 1:32pm: Hi barbydahlzz... BAA is just the second half of A school! It's for 4 yrs and 6 yrs since it is part of A school. (That is what my husband told me anyway... he is a 6 yr.)

Comment by Barbydahlzz ALUM 09/075 USS JPJ on April 23, 2012 at 1:02pm: Hi everyone... my son is in STG A school and almost done.. said he's coming home for 2 weeks of leave then goes back for OPS school.... WHAT IS BAA School?? is that for 6 yr contracts?? my son like everyone else is on an 8yr contract, but 4yr active/ 4yr inactive reserve..

Comment by kec929 Ship11 Div131 on April 20, 2012 at 3:47pm: Ok thanks for the info! My SR is my boyfriend so I'd be okay with four years:) won't get my hopes up...he never did mention anything about the reserves though and his mom received all the paperwork and somewhere in there it said something about 4 years..not too sure of the details if you haven't noticed haha

Comment by Jones on April 20, 2012 at 9:56am: It could be 4 years active and 2 reserves which could make a difference. My son has an 8 year contract. it is 6 years active and 2 reserves. He stayed in Great Lakes for @ 9 weeks after PIR and just arrived in San Diege last week for A school and is on hold now. Oh and congratulations to you and your SR!!!

Comment by kec929 Ship11 Div131 on April 20, 2012 at 12:20am: Just joined the group! Saw previous comments about 4 vs 6 yrs. My SR graduates 4/27 then heads to SD the 28th...he said he is in a 6 yr contract but could it only be 4 years since he is going directly to SD?
