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 annie on July 29, 2010 at 12:42am: Hubby's on deployment. I was suppose to be in SD last month, but we put it on hold until he comes back. Hopefully he will be back before the holidays.. if so we're thinking early January. I'm so glad that he made it through all that training. Hubby is trying to get back in BUDS when he gets back.

Comment by suzieQ on July 28, 2010 at 7:09pm: Okay I'm new at this! Since the 1st is on sunday do we get paid friday or monday?

Comment by Paola_M on July 28, 2010 at 4:21pm: My husband recently graduated bootcamp and is in A school in Great Lakes. I miss him very much!

Comment by annie on July 28, 2010 at 12:50am: Hey Lette! How's the hubby? are you still planning to move to SD?

Comment by wsh SHIP 14 DIV 273 on July 27, 2010 at 11:33pm: I'm not crazy familiar but my husband and I were only married amonth when he left for Bootcamp and so I'm still waiting for him to graduate that now. And really nissing the newlywed aspect of it all.

Comment by annie on July 27, 2010 at 2:17am: Hey everyone! My husband and i have been married a little over 6 months but have dated over 8 years. I currently live in Northern California. Right now he is on deployment, so i we haven't been able to enjoy the 'newlywed' stage yet. We were suppose to move to San Diego in June but found out that he is being deployed... so we held off on our move. He is suppose to return in late December, and hopefully we will be able to move then. I hope these 5-6 months pass by fast!

Comment by faeriequeene11 *Ship 07 Div 283* on July 24, 2010 at 12:04am: What I'm looking forward to most are all the moves. Planning, preparing kids, pets, making sure the movers don't steal anything (I kid you not. As a brat, my mother had china stolen a few times.) And of course, I'd love to live overseas. My husband is going in AECF, so we know there's a possibility (small, but possible) of winding up in Yokosuka, Japan on his first sea duty assignment. (AECFs get automatic E-4 upon graduation from C-School) But I'm happy with anywhere. In my life so far I've lived in Rhode Island, Virginia, the DC area, Florida, and Alabama. And that was just my dad's career. It's an adventure, all right.

Comment by allisonG on July 23, 2010 at 7:49am: i went out with a few other navy wives last night and was informed that the feelings of 'WTH I dont know anything about the Navy' is totally normal.. so any wife out there who is feeling like that.. just remember we all understand it and yes your feelings of pulling your hair out is normal..lol..

Comment by weternity on July 22, 2010 at 9:18pm: How awkward is it when the guys come home? My husband calls me from the ship every day but everyone says it's still awkward..

Comment by faeriequeene11 *Ship 07 Div 283* on July 21, 2010 at 10:11am: Well, my hubby's PIR is 8/20 but we've been married about a year and a half. We've already gone through quite a lot (I was hospitalized with appendicitis, financial issues, etc.) so this is just one more obstacle for us. We're waiting about 5 years to have kids. My hubby's an AECF.
