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 oneL04 on June 8, 2010 at 9:17pm: Casey, what kinda scholarships? I am thinking about going to get my Masters in Public Administration.

Comment by amanda on June 8, 2010 at 3:11pm: I'm in undergrad for Psychology. I don't want to transfer because I just started working with a couple profs on research projects and don't want to lose the oppurtunity (again because I've already transferred once). But I graduate next June and then will take what is supposed to be my senior year off and live with him in SC or BS. By then timing works out nicely that i'll start masters school right as he gets stationed so i'll go somewhere close to him.

Comment by amanda on June 8, 2010 at 1:30pm: Ugh it's a thought I have every night. Unfortunately I'm too far into school to just up and leave or transfer (again) so I have another year. But we're both too ansy! haha He's always saying how much he just wants to come home to me and a house, not the BEQ.

Comment by oneL04 on June 8, 2010 at 11:42am: nicole and aaronsgirl, i know exactly what you mean! which is why i decided to move to south carolina. just couldnt be away any longer. i finished college and am working but im leaving my job and my apartment and i couldnt be more excited :)

Comment by Emily-aaronsgirl11 on June 8, 2010 at 11:06am: It's nice to know I'm not the only one! Makes me feel a lil less crazy :)

Comment by Emily-aaronsgirl11 on June 8, 2010 at 10:43am: I think its this feeling of wanting to actually be there to support him. For me at least, it's not so much as I miss him and need to be with him everyday, it's more of a I wish I was there for him to come home to me and I would be there for him. I know, I can still support him from a long distance, but he wants me there for him, and that absolutely kills me.

Comment by Emily-aaronsgirl11 on June 8, 2010 at 12:04am: HAHAHA. Catie, that's AMAZING! :) You just made my day so much brighter!
I called my mom after my flight came in, and she asked if it was hard leaving him. I was like yeah, it always is. And then she continued, "You didn't get married on me, did you?" "No, mom. I can't consent yet. Give me a few months."

She was fine with our relationship before he enlisted and bootcamp... then during I had the feeling that she expected us to break up. Like she didn't want us to last. The first two months of A school I could sense that she didn't want me with him. I think she's having a really hard time letting her baby go.. and it seems to be happening quicker than she wants it to. Maybe she's starting to accept it?

Comment by Emily-aaronsgirl11 on June 7, 2010 at 11:51pm: I suppose you never do know. But my parents might just murder Aaron if he marries me before I finish high school :) Besides, I have to wait until March until I turn 18!

Comment by Ashia on June 7, 2010 at 10:38pm: Casey- I LOVE you sample groups for life's answers! :D

Comment by Emily-aaronsgirl11 on June 7, 2010 at 9:19pm: Oh, back to Ohio it is for me, too. I didn't get to see much of the area in the day and a half I was there, but what I did see I loved. Makes me extremely anxious to become a wife instead of a girlfriend! Oh well, I suppose I have to wait at least the next year...
