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 7, 2010 at 12:51pm: hey girls! moving to goose creek in TWO weeks! i'm so excited :) trying to figure out the on base housing is confusing though especially from so far away!

Comment by Nicole loves Sean (EM-N (SS)) on June 6, 2010 at 9:41pm: I went to that site ALL THE TIME!!! that is how Sean's mom and I figured out his grad date before we even got the form letter! that website was my best friend ( and N4M too)

Comment by Emily-aaronsgirl11 on June 6, 2010 at 9:08pm: I tried to avoid the bootcamp reading... It tended to depress me more. But I did lots of research on getting married and the Navy. It helped to look to the future :)

Comment by Dana (David's Mom) on June 6, 2010 at 9:01pm: Aaronsgirl11,
I did the same thing. It helped me pass the time. I read everything I could find about the Navy, bootcamp and NNPTC.

Comment by Emily-aaronsgirl11 on June 6, 2010 at 8:50pm: That was definitely a much visited site when Aaron was there. I probably checked it multiple times a week just to wait for his division to move up a spot :) And I think I read everything on that site... Even the sections for staff and such. I guess I like to have as much info as possible? :)

Comment by SumiK0125 (wife of a Nuke MM) on June 5, 2010 at 5:12pm: okay thanks..really the only one i need to know is MM, i just got a call form my husband today! his PIR is 6/25 and he just got assigned as a Nuke MM

but i will check that out

Comment by SumiK0125 (wife of a Nuke MM) on June 5, 2010 at 10:15am: Can anyone tell me what the ranks are? MM, EM & ET?
my husband sent me his choice list and i have no idea what he is talking about....

Comment by amanda on June 4, 2010 at 6:19pm: I'm not sure which Quality Inn you're talking about but if it's the one right by the airport, it's closed for remodeling. I was planning on staying there but they called (at 530am mind you) that they would be closed starting June 1st. I'm not sure when they'll be reopening but if you plan on staying there or want to, I'd call to confirm they're actually open.
So now i'll be at the Comfort Inn right by the Northwoods Mall. I'll give a review when I'm there next weekend!

Comment by Colleen in PA on June 4, 2010 at 11:05am: Hi Casey, It's nice to see you on again. I was wondering where you were, you have such a nice profile pic. I hadn't been on in a while, my daughter graduated college and was commissioned an Ensign then we had her grad party then I got a sinus infect. I don't post a lot. I get info to pass on to my son who is in A school in Goose Creek. My husband and I were down this past weekend to see him and bring him his car. We stayed at the Quality Inn and he was able to stay with us as he just made phase 3. We also brought our dog along. Had a great time. We plan to visit several more times. It is a long drive fro PA.

Comment by Ashia on June 4, 2010 at 12:50am: Alex- I'm the one that one tickets for the show. What area are yours in? I'll send you a friend request!! :D

Oh, and as far as patches go.. I learned how to sew just so I could do my husband's patches.. (and make shoes, purses, quilts...) but if anyone needs patches sewn on, I can do it pretty much instantly. Haha, I remember when that happened to your husband Kathy! I was able to sew them on for you, it was the night before inspection right? Anyways, I did most of them for my husband's classes, so I'm pretty pro at it now ;)
