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 Diannadb on May 28, 2010 at 5:42pm: @ Veronica...We used to be stationed in Lemoore 3 years ago...I know that the surrounding areas are much more developed than they were when we first got there so that is a plus...Visalia and Fresno aren't too far to do some shopping and stuff...I did not enjoy my time out there...too agricultural for me...but I am from San Diego so yeah...

Comment by Veronica ship 07 div 106 on May 28, 2010 at 4:58pm: hey I will be in lemoore on july 10th. how is the life there for us (the wives) ...anybody there>?

Comment by RightHereWaiting on May 25, 2010 at 2:29am: Hey guys. My hubby and I are both enlisted. He just left for deployment on the Dubuque last Tuesday. Fun times. We live out in Poway [near Miramar] and I love the area so far. Once he gets back we want to rent a house rather than apartment in that area. :]

We have 2 dogs, so if anyone ever wants to have a doggy date together, let me know! I love taking my babies out whenever I can.

Comment by Diannadb on May 23, 2010 at 10:43pm: Hello everyone! How is everyone doing? Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Comment by stevieswife on April 21, 2010 at 10:57am: Hey Ladies...I am going to visit my husband in Port Hueneme, CA and was wondering if any of you have visited there? I am just wondering about what to do once I get to the gate, etc. Any advice would be great and GO NAVY :)

Comment by iluvmysalior on April 13, 2010 at 12:36pm: Hey everyone my name is Jenn and my husband is in the navy. He has been in for about 8 or 9 years and we have only been married for 2 years. I have three kids and I am looking for friends. I hope everyone is having a good day.

Comment by Kaye S. on April 10, 2010 at 6:31pm: Hello, wives! I'm a Mom, not a Wife, but our USS ALABAMA Ombudsman just posted this on our website. Perhaps it's old news, but thought it might be helpful:

New to Military Life?Are you new to military life? Did you just get married and think to yourself: "Where do I start with this whole new Navy life thing?"

Military One Source has developed a Checklist for New Military Spouses which has A LOT of good information. Make sure to check it out!

Thanks for letting me interrupt. Ya'll are amazing ladies! Hugs, k.

Comment by ddsweety on April 6, 2010 at 9:24pm: CCsWifey - Your husband should be given a list of base or off-base housing to look through and choose from for you. I believe in his frist week of BUDS they are given half days to get this type of stuff done.... unfortunatly my husband didn't use that time wisely because when things get started its harder to get to the housing office because it closes before they get off. You'll find housing! You'll get about $1800 in BHA, you can look online at apartments that cost less then that or more then that depending on what you want to spend. It'll be ok.
