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 sailormom-cathie on September 9, 2010 at 12:11am: Debm, thanks also for the C school info good to know he will be there at least 6 months into next year so makes planning easier.

Comment by sailormom-cathie on September 9, 2010 at 12:06am: DebM, thank you so much for the info especially about the leave time. I was thinking just the opposite that since everyone asks for leave during the holidays that they would probably encourage leave after A school. I would much rather he be home for the holidays. Since his Birthday is in October I am going to try and go out to visit him then, if I can afford it. Do you know when the holiday stand down starts?

Comment by sailormom-cathie on September 7, 2010 at 11:45pm: I am now checking on flights to SD, wish I lived closer, I am in Florida! I haven't seen my son since PIR weekend in April, sure do miss him, but I am so glad he really loves it out there (he did not like GL at all) he had to stay there for ATT class. DonnaFnavymom thanks for the info that OPS is 6 weeks, I wasn't sure about that one. Does anyone know how long C school is?

Comment by sailormom-cathie on September 7, 2010 at 10:46pm: Thanks DonnaFnavymom and Deb M for the hotel info, My son finishes A school mid Oct, he will then decide whether to try and take leave then or maybe wait until the Xmas break. He doesn't know when C school will start, so I will be waiting to see what he decides or rather what the Navy decides lol. Thanks for the heads up about not waiting until the end . teachertoo, can't wait to see what reservation your son makes for you, and Happy Birthday, I can't think of a better gift to give yourself.

Comment by sailormom-cathie on September 7, 2010 at 10:46am: Hello everyone, glad to find a group of STG family. teachertoo - my son is also currently in A school at Pt loma and is loving San Diego, he is a 6yo, has been out there since mid july, just started school 2 weeks ago.
