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."

First Duty Station...Rules, Regs, INFO PLEASE
Currently, Jake is at a-school in pensacola, fl
He has NOT gotten his orders yet and we planned on him cominog home in July so we could get married BEFORE he got his orders so I could be on them.
BUT, because of the regulations with marriage licensing in the state I live in, it doesnt seem that it is going to work out, because he wont be home during open office hours at the county clerks office.
SO, we are talking about waitng until he is done with A-School and to get married when he is on leave. BUT, I have heard that if I am not on his orders is makes it harder for me to go with him to his first duty station. ALSO, is it true that if he gets his orders to international, that I will NOT be able to go with him, even if we are married right after he gets his orders?
Right now, we have 3 options
1. Cut our guest list from 60 people to 20 people and get married in tahoe because they issue marriage license on the weekend.
2. I go to flordia, get married and give up my entire dream of having a real wedding...( kinda doing that with #1 too...)
3. Wait till he comes home on leave and get married then, but risk him getting stationed internationally and me not being able to go with him...
ADVICE? INFO??
