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 November 17, 2011 at 2:06pm: aboun18... helps a great deal thanks... how did your fiance's liberty work out at PIR??

Comment by abuon18 on November 16, 2011 at 8:42pm: Hey barbydahlzz... My fiance is also an STG. He graduated boot camp 9/9/11 and finishes ATT in GL this week. Because of the holiday he ships out to San Diego for A school the Tues after Thanksgiving. The class itself is about 8 or 9 weeks but most likely there will be a couple of weeks of hold time there before classes start. Hope that helps!

Comment by Barbydahlzz ALUM 09/075 USS JPJ on November 16, 2011 at 8:35pm: hello all.... My son is at BC now.. slated for PIR 01/13/12. and is going to STG A school as an E3.. how much time are they to spend at GL prior to flying to school?

Comment by proudtexasmom93 on October 12, 2011 at 10:49pm: I have an SR graduating from boot camp 10/14. Heading to GL tomorrow. Are you

Comment by JHnavy on October 7, 2011 at 3:53pm: Hello, just wondering if anyone here has an SR graduating from boot camp next week??

Comment by txsailorsam-Donna on October 7, 2011 at 2:55pm: Wrangler. Good to hear from you. Every thing you need in Sd is on the transit line. I know you will have a good time. There is a Holiday Inn right across the street from base. Spring is a goid place to shop. The Woodlands is good for shopping too.

Comment by wranglermom on October 7, 2011 at 2:41pm: Spring isn't that far! That's a good place to shop. :) Nacogdoches has NOTHING as far as shopping. Yes, I'm looking forward to his getting to San Diego next year. I'm already planning a summer trip out there! I'm on kidney dialysis, so I have to plan everything ahead of time in order to get my dialysis in. But that's not going to stop me! I travel all the time. Thanks for your response! I will keep your son in my prayers. I just think this website is awesome!

Comment by txsailorsam-Donna on October 6, 2011 at 3:58pm: Wrangler... I live in Spring, tx. My son is depolyed now but was in SanDiego until this past July. SD is a greT place to visit.

Comment by wranglermom on October 6, 2011 at 3:18pm: My son started BC this week. He already has an assigned job: STG. He is scheduled to graduate early December; he'll stay in GL for 6 weeks (he'll get a break for Christmas). Sometime in early 2012 he'll head to San Diego for the remainder of his studies. Supposedly, he will stay in San Diego for several months before getting to deploy anywhere. I live in Nacogdoches, TX - anyone in this neck of the woods? I think it would be neat to get together with some other moms/wives who can keep me informed on what to expect. I love N4M's!!

Comment by txsailorsam-Donna on September 27, 2011 at 4:04pm: We are from Spring, Tx. My son has been in since Aug. "10. He is deployed right now. Was on holds a lot of last year.
