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."

Comment by proudcorpsmanwife3 on July 20, 2011 at 6:40pm: I hope that everyone is having a good week! Heard today that my husband probably will not be coming home before february but that can always change. 11-12 months on a ship is a long time when there is really no war going on. Please pray that they have a safe deployment and a safe return.

Comment by proudcorpsmanwife3 on July 18, 2011 at 11:24pm: Amy,

Brown bagger status means that he will live at home with you while in FMTB. He will have to get up early to be to training on time and then at the end of their training day he will come home to you. There are I believe 2 weeks within the training that they will be in the field for a week straight and wont be able to have contact with you, which sucks but it all part of it. If your husband is a brown bagger he will not have to stay in the barricks, but remember that he can lose that status at anytime, like if he fails a test or is late to work, etc. Being a brown bagger is a lot harder than if he was living with the other Corpsman in FMTB. I cant remember about the block exam and when they took it. Just keep in mind that this training is intense, and he will be training long hours and then will have to study for hours on top of it. Amy is you have any more questions please feel free to ask! That is what I am here for. When I moved here in January I didnt have these connections that I have now, but through this support group and the connections that I have made since I have been here (which are few) I have been lucky to have gained the stuff I know now.

Comment by CorpsmanWife on July 18, 2011 at 8:28pm: Yeah definitely let me know when your free

Comment by proudcorpsmanwife3 on July 18, 2011 at 7:50pm: We should plan on hooking up sometime soon and get some lunch!

Amanda the two of you can get together for pizza ... This is nice..

Comment by proudcorpsmanwife3 on July 18, 2011 at 12:45pm: Navywifey,

I am newer to the military life as well. my husband and I got married last november and he just finished up his FMTB training in march and then deployed the end of march. I have found that it has been hard to find information from people who work on the base, but I have created a great network of people here that have been very helpful. Where abouts are you living? I have two young kids as well. My name is Amanda, and I will help you in any way I can. I will also inbox you my phone number so you can call or text me at any time. Us Corpsman Wives (especially new to the military life) need to try and stick together.

Comment by CorpsmanWife on July 18, 2011 at 11:59am: I'm new to military life and feeling a tad lost. I'm just looking for general information like what part of the town I should avoid due to crime (or if I even need to avoid any part) or a good park to take Aiden to play in. I'd even like to know where the best place to go to get my hair done lol
