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."

Advice for new spouses

Information

Hello, everyone my name is Amanda. Thank you for joining this group! I have recently went through the whole process of becoming a PROUD NAVY WIFE. I am starting this group to help all the new spouses on your journey. Ask me anything!!!!

This is especially for wives, husbands, boyfriends, girlfriends, or fiances.

Everyone has a different experience throughout this whole process. My husband started signing up in July of 2010 and did not leave for bootcamp until March 29th 2011, so we have pretty much been through a lot this last year and I would love to help everyone that I can understand things that I did not when we first started. He is now in the middle of A-school and I guess so are we. It has not always been fun, but it is worth it in the end. I say this is especially for spouses becuase pay, and things like that are different for us, but mom, dads and anyone else is more than welcome to join. I look forward to hearing from everyone, and hope that I can help you along the way. This page is for newly married about to get married, or just being a new Navy spouse in general. My husband and I have been together 6 years and married over 2 years now. We have a 3 year old son. Watching the children go through this is very difficult because they do not fully understand what is going on. I am here to help!!!! I have lots of ideas and experiences to share!!!!

Comment by ATI wife on August 19, 2011 at 10:53am: ok thanx i will .. do u no how long it took ? Becuz i have 3 lil ones that i dont want to be acting silly !!!

Comment by April on August 19, 2011 at 10:08am: ATI Wife...if you are enrolled in DEERS then you and your family have tri care standard for the time being. That is where you can pick the doctor of your choice and you have to pay a co pay each time you go. If you decide you want Prime...that is when you have to go to a military institution to see a doctor but you don't have pay a co pay...you will have to sign up for it. If you don't have access to the internet....You can go to the Navy Hospital here in Pcola. That is what my friend did. She went in there and told them she wanted Prime and they sent her to an office that is just dedicated to tri care. They had someone help her and walk her through all the forms and she was able to sign up. She said it was super easy. So you should look into that :)

Comment by ATI wife on August 19, 2011 at 9:07am: well i called the number to tricare but they told me to go online print the forms, fill them out and send them in.. i guess i can but idk no where to do that at here in Pensacola ?? I dont have internet muchless a printer ...

Comment by imadreamer1983 (Ship 03 Div 306) on August 18, 2011 at 11:50pm: When I went in for my military ID, they had me go around the corner to the Tricare office to get the kids and I enrolled. I'm not sure if this is how it works everywhere though. Maybe check with the recruiter for some help on specifics for your area.

Comment by skell456 (AO wife) on August 18, 2011 at 10:01pm: I've never recieved a DEERS card I just have always used my military I.D.???? Should I have got one????
