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."

I think he started to want to cook after non being able to at bootcamp.. and that was awhile ago for him

Comment by wsh SHIP 14 DIV 273 on July 19, 2010 at 3:50pm: Well I've only been married two months actually. We got married May 14 of this year and he left a month later for bootcamp so everything is taking alot to get used to but i'm dealing. My husband loved grocery shopping when he was here with me and loves to cook for me too. Let's hope that continues when he gets out of BC too. Haha he always did the laundry too cuz he liked doing things for me. so we'll see what continues and what doesnt.

My husband graduates in 26 days and I'm so excited about seeing him again. He was told there is a big chance that I'll be able to go on and move with hin for schooling so I'm very excited about that. haha. I still have all the things that we got for our wedding in their original boxes so when we move there is a lot i have to do. I do know how to use a washing machine though...so sounds like i may be ahead of the game for some new wives. =) lol.
