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."

You need to be a member of USS Pittsburgh SSN 720 to add comments!

Comment by Zahi Merz on October 28, 2012 at 9:19pm: sbcalvert unfortunately we can't give you any information on the boat until your fiance reports to the command. As for housing your fiance has to do all the paperwork to get things started but not sure how things work unless you guys are married.. Sorry wish I could be more help. Once your fiance reports to the comman and our ombudsman has paper work on you then I can give you more information...

Comment by sbcalvert on October 28, 2012 at 10:59am: Hello everyone!

I am new to this group and relatively new to the Navy, so I am trying to find out as much information as possible. My fiancé currently is finishing supply school in Newport and I live in Texas, and he just got assigned to the USS Pittsburg and is about to start Sub School in Groton in January. We are looking for an apartment/home to move into after we are married in June, but have no clue where to start. Do you guys have an opinion of housing up there? Also, do you guys know how to go about getting a general timeframe of information regarding the length of time the ship will be in dry-docked? :)

Comment by Zahi Merz on July 17, 2012 at 4:33pm: Thanks Cheri! We just need some ideas. We are trying to get everyone involved and not just focus on "family" or "wives" only.

Comment by LaurenP on July 17, 2012 at 12:40pm: It will be on the navy base!! They were building the dry dock during homecoming actually. It looked like a big cement box! :)

Comment by LaurenP on July 17, 2012 at 12:33pm: 99% of them will stay with the boat. If there if another boat in dier need of someone they may volunteer to "ride" with a boat for a while but will return to the Pittsburgh until they transfer to shore duty. They still stand their watches and do normal work, the boat will just be up in the air!! Perfect opportunity to visit more often!! :)

Comment by LaurenP on July 17, 2012 at 11:07am: Its only for 5 days ha ha ha!! Then yes, Dry Dock for at least 10 months but they are allocating I think 18 months in case everything doesnt go as perfectly as they hoped!! :)

Comment by Zahi Merz on July 17, 2012 at 8:16am: Morning ladies! Make sure to read our new discussion we would really like your input on this !!!! Thanks! :)
