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."

Housing housing housing, what a mess!
Okay, here's the situation.
My fiancee's ship will be moved into their barracks (guess they've been on a waiting list for like...EVER!) sometime around the end of May. He's excited, as well he should be, but the problem arises that we aren't married yet. Obviously, I want to move into the barracks with him or get an apartment on/near base (he's currently in VA and I'm in GA taking care of my aunt) but what's going to happen with the marriage and housing?
In other words, will I be okay to stay with him while we're engaged in his current barracks?
Will they move us into/are there separate barracks for married couples?
What qualifies someone for BAH versus barracks?
I'm sorry, we're both new to this and as he's occupied with the ship I've got my family to take care of, so any advice/help here would really be appreciated. Hope everyone's having a wonderful spring so far <3

Boyfriend... fiancé.. Just a word.
People often do "sneak" people into the barracks. They are not allowed to be there over night. If you do it and get away with it fine. You get caught it’s not on you it will be on him. Not a good way to start out a navy career. And even more so now with the fact that the Navy doesn’t have to keep you because they are short on recruits.
