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 Wildcat_girl on November 23, 2015 at 3:05pm: Any one in Cali for A School?

Comment by ShelMaq on October 17, 2013 at 3:33pm: I am in Gulfport, just moved here in August. Don't really know anyone yet. Except for a few sailors my husband works or has worked with- I sent you a friend request SeabeeLove13.

Comment by SeabeeLove13 on October 17, 2013 at 6:55am: Hey ladies! Hubby and I are heading too Gulfport in a few weeks. Anyone else there?

Comment by Laura Leigh on October 9, 2013 at 1:55pm: Hello :) My husband is an EO Seabee. We have been in the military 8 years.. the only place we have been stationed is Little Creek Amphibious base in VA Beach. we are looking at sea duty orders on FRIDAY! Where are some places we could get stationed? I am praying we can stay in VA...but I know we probably can't...I know you can go to Port Hueneme and Gulfport Ms. But I'm not sure where else?? how are the schools wherever you are stationed? We have 2 children 9 & 5. anyways, thanks in advance !

Comment by Toni SeaBwife on May 2, 2013 at 2:41pm: Hiya Evdrake18, Welcome to the Seabee life.

You can expect deployments, I'm not sure what the rotation for them is anymore since my hubby is on shore duty right now but one of the other Seabee wives can probably inform you of that. Fortunately Ive heard that they aren't sending people to the dangerous places anymore, but i don't know if that is definite or just hearsay. There is a 3-4 week field exercise to prepare them for deployment. It is a hard job to be a wife of an active duty service member, a lot of wives struggle because in many cases the Navy comes first. Active duty Seabees are stationed in 3 locations for sea duty, either Port Hueneme California, Gulfport Mississippi or Little Creek Virginia. Few more options for shore duty.

Pretty much Live everyday like he will deploy tomorrow. It's hard to think of what to expect i don't remember what it was like earlier in my Seabees career, hehe, if you have specific questions i can try and answer them. :-)

Comment by Evdrake18 on April 8, 2013 at 7:32pm: Hey everyone. I'm just starting this whole Navy Seabee wife lifestyle. Any tips on what to expect??

Comment by BY2011 on December 4, 2011 at 1:34pm: Hi I'm here in Pt Hueneme Cali, Anybody else here? :)
