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."

Joannfromyuma. Sorry it's taking this long to reply. This page is not very active so it kinda slips. Yay for your son becoming part of our Pittsburgh family. As for advise I'm not sure exactly what you need know? Please feel free to ask question just know that due to Ospec we might nit be able to answer certain things. Once your son reports to the command things go a bit more smoothly and you get a lot more answers!

Hello Everyone! We just found out our son is to report for duty on the USS Pittsburgh on February 20th. He will be graduating Prototype in January. Any advise?

That's awesome! But to be honest I can't remember what the sub schoolers were saying. Lol. All I remember was a lot of HOOYAH Pittsburgh. Lol.
