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."

"He will be a SW and he wants to be a CUT after A school." ??

Got me stumped on SW & CUT.

Emma

I'm CRAZY "CUT" was suppose to be UCT- Underwater Construction Team- and SW is Steel Worker, LOL!

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on July 18, 2012 at 10:31am: My son leaves for BC on 10/23/12. After that he will head to Goose Creek for the nuke program.

Chris - I have heard my son talk about the STA-21 program and he was going to do some research on it. How long has your son been in the Navy?

Comment by Concernedad on July 18, 2012 at 10:10am: BTW, this really should have been started as a discussion in here.

FTLW, is there a way you know of to move all the comments to a discussion? People may want to read and add to this one day and much easier to do via an actual thread.

Comment by Concernedad on July 18, 2012 at 10:08am: Chris, I'm confused, is your son a reservist? Is he actually IN the Navy now, or will be after graduation? Is he currently E-6 or will be at graduation? Not sure how all that stuff works?

Comment by Concernedad on July 18, 2012 at 10:06am: I understood the SW part, but not the CUT part.

BTW, my son has put in to work with SEAL teams, so not sure what I'm allowed to say anymore? Don't know if I can say where he will be stationed or not? Anyone?

Comment by Chris on July 18, 2012 at 6:53am: The Citadel has Navy, Marine, Army, and Air Force ROTC contingents. My son is an ETN1 (E6) submarine nuclear reactor operator. After graduation and commissioning next May he will go to Pensacola for flight school. He is in transition form the Nuke community to the Aviation community.

Comment by DramaSoul on July 17, 2012 at 9:39pm: Rod...thanks for the info! Not too much, I assure you.

My son is a Corpsman going 'green side'. He just completed A school at San Antonio. He begins his Field Marine Training Battalion (aka FMTB) in about 10 days. After his 2 months of training at Camp Pendleton, he will be at 29 Palms Marine Air and Ground Training Command working in the hospital there until the ship to which he has been attached is deployed. He will be deployed with his Marine unit...a 'devil doc'...as it were. He is currently an E-2 but that is about to change. In September he will be an E-3.

ABH2 - Aviation Boatswain Mate Handling Second Class. In a most simplistic way, he supervises the plane valets on Hangar Bay 2 who put the planes and choppers in their parking space. They have to then chain them down and place wheel chocks under the wheels. Now for some of the blue shirts depending on what they are doing require them to complete certain quals, ie tractor driver, elevator operator, director. He also is the Divisional Coordinator for Aviation Warefare Specialist pin. Sorry probably too much 411, but he has been in going on 9 years and this is his 4th deployment.

Comment by DramaSoul on July 17, 2012 at 3:14pm: All I know about The Citadel is that Mark Buonoconte played football there and sustained a neck injury that left him a quadriplegic. That's when his dad Nick, former Dolphin, started The Miami Project for research on spinal chord injuries. I may have misspelled his name.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 17, 2012 at 11:46am: Well...how about everyone come back and decode their Sailors rating and or what they are doing? I can see I didn't follow directions very well! I only gave his rating.

He is a Seabee Builder Constructionman Apprentice (E-2)...and a reservist. He just got into his Unit...had to apply to one and get taken accepted. He is trying to find a job in this lovely economy, go back to College and will do his first AT (Annual Training - two weeks) soon.

Go Seabee's!
