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."

Yea before we ad our son we drove, and it took us 19, so I know it desnot have to be a long drive. He from a smal litletown called New London, is close to Appleton. And hes an ABF'3. And I have nver lived out in Norfolk and VA Beach. Bu thats very true some good and sme bad places, so yu will really want to check theareas out befoe buying anything. When you start looking, if you fond an area you think you like, taea drive with your hubby "cause by then he ill be" at night and see if it still looks likea good area. I have only lived in Hampton and Newport News, jut always stay away from numbered streets! haha and I dnt know about schools yet, because Nathan is trying to get shore orders and I dont wanna live in VA anymore, I want a change soo.

Awe, Im sure it's gonna be a beautiful wedding! And thank you about my son. he was born aug 5th so. August is a good month! ha ha. Yes Im from VA, Nathans on the enterprise and is stationed in Norfolk. I just moved back with my family while he on deployment and extra support never hurts! Nathans from WI he lives about 4 hours away from Chicago, we just drove up there for new years with the baby. What a horrible drive. 26hr to get there and 28hrs on the way back. It was so hard with the baby!

Yea this is my first deployment as well, and my husbands 2nd. We just had our son back in August. So its kind of hard to be hear without him. So when is the big day? And are you from VA, or are you from somewhere else?

Hi Genelle,
Its really nice to meet you, and it seems like we both have a lot in common:) I would love to chat! I totally understand where you are coming from. I was also friends with my sailor for a while and like you and yours we fell in love:) And now we are getting married! And I also understand deployment and how tough it proves itself, although I am pretty new at it. I also noticed your sailor was stationed in Virginia Beach, VA, and mine was too! I actually spent an immense amount of time with him up, which as you now, its great to spend so much time with them when you can! But I would love to chat, I myself am trying to stay as positive as I can, although its completely kicking my butt, but love always gets through:) I cant wait to chat! Not to mention my favorite quote in the world and the song is actually the ring tone!.."the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss.." :)
Stay strong girl, we will get through for our men:)
