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 candy-oh! on March 27, 2011 at 3:04pm: Nice, subwife!! I've heard that part of the country is so beautiful. I've been to San Francisco but nowhere else over there.

Comment by SubWife2010 on March 25, 2011 at 12:33pm: Hello just wanted to let every one know My husband and I made it to WA last week and so far we love it here! We are ready for this adventure:) and Excited about it.

Comment by debotur on March 20, 2011 at 2:10pm: My bf us very excited to go to Aschool especially since he is going with a friend from bootcamp so they both won't feel so alone there :)!

Comment by diannep on March 20, 2011 at 12:04pm: candy: Just pray that he is not in "hold" for a while after he finishes. There was a backup on orders when my son was there...he was held almost a month after finishing...as were many of his buddies. They get very antsy during that time! He said they were told that the person who handled the orders took vacation during that time and it slowed down the orders coming down. I don't know...he was just glad to get out and we were glad to get him home on leave! By the way, he LOVED A School environment...with his buddies etc. So different from bc!

Comment by candy-oh! on March 19, 2011 at 7:17pm: well, I guess it doesn't really matter how long Yeoman school is...I know he won't get leave until the finishes there and then goes to Groton and finishes there. I need to figure out a way to just carry on instead of counting the days until he might come home!! I need a hobby :)

Comment by diannep on March 18, 2011 at 11:12am: debotur: When my son went there, he told me that school was 37 days, but that some finish earlier than that, some maybe later, since it is self-paced.

Kim, will do. BHappy is a friend of mine so keeping her son and yours in prayer, as well as all others involved in this relief program.

Comment by debotur on March 16, 2011 at 3:56pm: My bfs Aschool is only 5 weeks long and he doesn't get leave until after Aschool and yes he's a Saturday departure :( he graduates 3/25 and leaves the very next day but I'm not sure exactly at what time :(

Comment by candy-oh! on March 15, 2011 at 9:13pm: Hey, debotur! My son will be down there in Meridian soon; he graduates 4/15. How long is the school down there? And do they get leave between boot camp and A school or between A school and their 1st assignment?

Comment by debotur on March 15, 2011 at 4:08pm: My bf graduates 3/25 (still waiting for the I'm a sailor call this weekend)! Is there anything you suggest I have packed for him? His job is yeoman and is going to mississippi for Aschool :)
