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."

Hi m3 thanks ...yeah my husband is about to start ATT next week and is on hold for A school. He has been so busy and trying to figure out all that he has to do to get us up there with him. I am so anxious because I feel so helpless. Are you already in GL? He said by the time he is done with duty the housing office is closed so he has not been able to turn anything in yet. He also mentioned something abut classes (driving) he has to take as a part of the live ashore packet. Do you know anything about that? Like if they have to be completed before he turns the Chit in?
Thanks!

Heya! I moved here about a month ago - my husband is currently in RTCs (PIRS 12/2), but he'll be at Great Lakes for A school as well. Good to know someone else is in the same shoes :) How are you adjusting to everything? Seems like a lot to learn for me, but it's well worth it. Are you guys on base/off base?

Its okay, I am ready to see what the winter brings. Yeah we stay off base. my husband and I try to spend as much time together as we can but his a school is a night so we dont get that much time. I am ready for C school, hopefully that will be on the east coast(VA).
