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."

Welcome! :)

What rate is your husband? (What's his job?). 

AngiePermalink Reply by Angie on October 17, 2011 at 6:05pm
How long has he been in "A" School?  Hopefully he put in a request chit (if in Great Lakes) BEFORE he got married..otherwise it will be some time before everything gets straighted out and he may get in trouble.

@Angie He's in FL. And im not sure.
AngiePermalink Reply by Angie on October 17, 2011 at 7:00pm

Not sure if FL requires the paper work or not.  HE needs to get you on his military paper work, than he needs to take you to the bae to get your ID card (or send you the paper work if you aren't near his base) He needs to put in paper work to mabye be able to live off base, he needs to put in the paper work to get the Navy to start giving him money for the housing allowance.  He needs to go to make sure you are added on his medical insurance.

 

See a trend here.  lol
