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."

Oh wow, I just got here last Wednesday. I know what you mean. I am loving being under the same roof as my husband again! But all the time on my hands during the day is new for me. I've been keeping myself busy trying to get our place together and furniture shopping. Haven't quite gotten to the bored out of my mind state yet but could definitely use some girl time! Want to get together for coffee or something tomorrow?

Hi :) My husband is graduating RTC on the 30th and he wants me to move down for Aschool. Do you mind if I ask you a few questions about how it works during Aschool? Hes not giving much info since he only sends one letter a week lol.

LOL - I completely understand! My husband isn't always the best at relaying information. Please ask away! I'm still very new to all of this but I will answer whatever questions I can. If you want, go ahead and call me. I'll private message you with my cell number. :)
