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! I'm Emily :)
I'm moving to the Bremerton area in... 3 days! Woot woot!
They are getting ready to deploy. My husband joined the ship midway through their last deployment after he finished his school. He drove from SC to Washington and then a few days later was flown out to the ship.
I am hoping to get a job out there, and I'll be attending classes to finish my Bachelor's degree also. :)
Shoot me a message when you guys get up in the area and we can meet up sometime! :)

I can't help you, but I can say I LOVE Bremerton. You are so lucky. That is where my dad was stationed when he was in the Navy and we went to Seattle a couple years ago and took the ferry over and I LOVED it. He took us all around looking at his old hang outs and what not. And how lucky to just be a ferry ride away from Seattle. Definitely jealous. My boyfriends ship is currently in Norfolk and about to be moved to Jacksonville, Fl. Florida is nice, but I love the west coast! :-)
