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 SumiK0125 (wife of a Nuke MM) on May 26, 2010 at 11:25am: well i guess Thsi will be my "new home' for Nuke info...

i'm not to sure of the whole situation but Casey you have been the most helpful person i have met so far where any information is concerned with this program and moving to goose creek. i would just like to say that if being a mom is what the problem was then i guess i will be blocked soon enough....

Thank you to everyone who has helped me out so far, and i hope any other questions that i have can be answered, as well as helping some of the newer people with things that i might know now....<3

Comment by always waiting on May 26, 2010 at 10:31am: Hey Everyone, my husband's been done with the Nuke program since March, but I figured I'd join the group in case anyone has any questions! Good luck to all of your sailors as the start or continue on in the nuke training!

Comment by Ashia on May 25, 2010 at 11:58pm: I like being able the share any information I get with those that need it. When my husband left for bootcamp, his recruiter told me so many lies. That we wouldn't be able to get married, and I wouldn't see him, or hardly be allowed to talk to him for two years, that I should jut give up on him now. I almost did when I didn't get a phone call until Christmas Day (he started BC on Nov. 4th, so two months is a LONG time). During the time period Tanner was in BC, I lost my best friend and my mom lost her job. I had no one and nothing, and was working 80 hours a week at a bookstore to make ends meets. I was here for almost 6 months before I was able to make friends. It was just a very awful experience for me. Thanks to TG, finally met some girls, and still am great friends with them now. I know most (if not all) of you MILFS met each other through here, so I've always felt blessed that I was "taken in". It's weird knowing that I'm only going to be here a few more months.

Comment by Emily-aaronsgirl11 on May 25, 2010 at 8:06pm: Well now I have hope that my sailor can make my homecoming :) If not its all the reason why I can make him beg his Chief to let me come home for either Prom or Graduation next spring! :)

Comment by Emily-aaronsgirl11 on May 25, 2010 at 7:58pm: Wait! So they get to leave right after they graduate A school? My sailor told me he has to wait until his T-Track was over... which didn't make any sense to me, but I took his word for it?

Comment by RosaEdsmom on May 25, 2010 at 7:24pm: I am beginning to think...the best plan of action is to leave on saturday @ ugly "0"hundred hour. He has to fly all the way to So. Cal. Thanks again for the info.:)))

Comment by Ashia on May 25, 2010 at 7:03pm: Leave starts the day of graduation.. technically at 1600. Which I was going to say about the thing for a flight. Grad is typically finished early, but TECHNICALLY they aren't on leave until 1600 that day. Whether thats enforced for him really depends on his slpo tho.

Comment by RosaEdsmom on May 25, 2010 at 6:53pm: Thanks Libby :) That gives me a starting point.

Comment by RosaEdsmom on May 25, 2010 at 6:39pm: Hey Ladies~ My first ?. lol. What time does A-school graduation end. I am trying to book Ed's flight home. YES!!!!!! Well, that is....if everything goes as planned.lol.

Comment by RosaEdsmom on May 25, 2010 at 6:13pm: Hey Ladies~ Hope all is well. I am just a mom, but love the info. that y'all provide. I have actually sent my son some of the info. in e-mails. Have a great evening.
