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."

Sailor Mom1~ My son also graduates A school on the 15th, and is going to A school in San Antonio, TX. My son is going to C school for Lab Tech tho, not Surgical tech. I saw where you are driving your sons vehicle out to TX for him. My son is coming home here after A school graduation to NJ for a few days, then driving his truck out to TX. He said the Navy will give him 4 days travel to get there. He has to save his gas, tolls, & lodging reciepts to submit them for reimbursement from the Navy. Have you found anyone going to A school graduationyet to take video or pictures yet??? I'm hoping my son will have a friend take some pics. since I can't make this graduation.

Hi sailor Mom1~ My son is in the other class (class 11010A). He made a friend named Lenny in your sons class tho. His friend Lenny actually came home with my son for 2 weeks during Christmas. I asked my son to give his camera to one of his classmates to take pictures at the graduation on the15th, since i can't make it there this time. Not too much longer until our boys are officially USN Corpsman!!!  I'm so proud of all them. My son is headed to San Antonio, for Lab Tech C School. Where is your son headed after graduation? My son has made a lot of friends in A School, they are all headed in different directions very soon. He may know your son too? They seem like they are all pretty friendly with one another.

How's your son doing? Has he settled into the A School routine?

Yes, it was raining like crazy this morning, but although my commute into Atlanta was very long, I got here in one piece and that's all that matters!! Love your pictures. You have a very handsome Sailor!! Please let me know if you have any questions. It's definately a process of studying hard and keeping up with the coursework. Don't worry though, they offer all kinds of study groups that help them along. The 14 weeks will fly. I went to the A School graduation and it was really nice and personal, nothing like PIR. Jamie didn't have a choice with Camp P or Camp L. He wanted to go to Camp Lejeune so that he could come home for Thanksgiving. Oh well!! He does not want to be attached to a Marine unit, but he's expecting at least one tour in the sandbox. Again, please let me know if you have any questions, I know I had a ton!!

Hi there! Thanks for the add. Wasn't PIR just wonderful? Jamie finished up Corpsman A School on September 29 and is now at Camp Pendleton in California. It's been a crazy seven months. He will finish FMTB on Dec. 16 and then be home for 10 days before he leaves for Italy.
