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."

I'm super excited, That my husband is almost done A school, He said he might be home for thanksgiving and he leaves for his new duty station the 1st week of dec. My daughter and i will join him after christmas. But i am so proud of him, he's doing so well but he's so lonely, i know he misses us so much because he's been wanting us to come see him since he started school, but were both always so busy, him with school and etc and me with packing and trying to get ready for our daughters 2nd birthday in dec. But how are other navy wives feeling right now? are you excited to be going with your sailor? i know i am. All i want is too have my family together but being married to a sailor wont always be that easy but its okay lol..were even thinking about having another baby, we both would love to have a boy but whatever god blesses us with will be happy no matter what. Has anyone saw there husbands orders? when will you join your husband? and where are you going to be living?

My fiance will be starting A school in February, and I will be moving with him. Our wedding is next weekend (November 12th) and he leaves for bootcamp November 30th. I'm so nervous, this is the first time we've been apart in a long time, though it is only for two months, and I know I'll be fine. But I'm looking forward to the new direction in our life. :) 

In two weeks we'll get to see the orders, and I'll know when his bootcamp graduation date is, I'm planning to head to Chicago for that.

I can't decide if I want to live in the base housing...or attempt to find an apartment in SC, its such a lovely place. I'm excited to meet new people. Good vibes! 

Good luck to you! :)
