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 Chelle15187 on December 23, 2013 at 2:20pm: My husband is currently in Navy bootcamp and after that he will be staying there for school which they told him was over a year for AECF. I am planning on moving the week of graduation and I am wondering if any other wives have gone through this before. I feel lost my husband told me to get in contact with his recruiter so I did and he straight out told me he can't help me. I am wondering if There is a list of aproved appartments that I would have to pick from or can I just move anywhere. I was also wondering about military housing up there if he isnt graduated from bootcamp I am guessing I can not move into those. So that would not be an option since we want to move right before graduation. Any help would be appriciated or even a number to someone who would be able to give me the information I am looking for.

Comment by Vickyrun on December 23, 2013 at 12:10pm: Good morning,

I got to see Aidan on Saturday, a short visit at McDonald's. Then he flew out to VA on Sunday (he flys by himself now, I took him on his 1st flight to Chrissy's PIR). Chrissy will be coming back with him.

Marsha went to her Dad's, so I am all alone right now. She will be back Christmas day. My boyfriend Glen came over yesterday and we watched football.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone.

Comment by Bondo88 on December 10, 2013 at 7:26pm: but they also have breed restrictions and one of my dogs is on that list, she's a husky and they have her breed restricted. we are contacting them tomorrow but it looks like my dog won't be able to come with us

Comment by RebeccaProudWife on December 10, 2013 at 7:23pm: Bondo88 call housing again and again, we just moved from there and there were so many open places and I happen to know of 5 people who are moving before Christmas. Some times the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing there in the housing office.

Comment by Bondo88 on December 10, 2013 at 2:45pm: ok thank you.. so i can go ahead and get things set up for the move up their then? beings chances are she'll get the ok??

Comment by Anti M on December 10, 2013 at 2:44pm: Only if they are in trouble, or behind in school.

Comment by Bondo88 on December 10, 2013 at 2:18pm: do they ever deny anyone for of base living??

Comment by Anti M on December 10, 2013 at 2:14pm: The allowance is BAH, basic allowance for housing. It is based on zip code, does not count as base pay, and is not taxed.

Comment by Bondo88 on December 10, 2013 at 12:40pm: well base housing is full and they have a long list... so we are looking into off base and she said something about an allowance? and she already applied and filled out all the chits..

Comment by Anti M on December 10, 2013 at 12:36pm: Yes, the school is long enough for Live Ashore, she needs to apply for that right away, and get you moved up there. You can rent of move into housing if it is available. Navy housing takes all your BAH, but you won't need to worry about bills and it is right next to the base. She should be getting BAH for you for your current location.
