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 ljoyce on June 18, 2013 at 11:58pm: Hey ladies! My husband just landed in San Diego today, our first duty station!!! Does anyone know about how long the wait list is for on base housing out there ? He is E-3 and we have a mini poodle (8lbs and fixed). Curious how long it will take for me to be able to get out there, I cant wait!!!

Comment by ohwhere on June 13, 2013 at 12:22pm: I haven't used them yet but was going to for shipping my car. They got really good reviews:

www.montway.com

They give you a quote online without having to give all your information. I tried one of those online companies where they wanted my phone number and was harassed for more than a month with emails and phone calls from multiple places.

Comment by Mamushka23 on June 11, 2013 at 5:15pm: Has anyone shipped their car? If so what company did you use? I heard the Navy won't pay for your car to be transported.

Comment by NerdyNavyWife on June 11, 2013 at 5:12pm: Most Definitely. Already planning on packing all the clothes and things with me. I have a decent sized car so I think I will be ok.

Comment by UrabissWife on June 11, 2013 at 5:02pm: oh girl make sure you pack your necessities. it could take up to a month to get your stuff if the navy is moving you. depending on how busy they are. it took my friend up here a month and a week to get her stuff. idk if you are driving, but if so make sure you stuff it plum full with as much stuff possible.

Comment by NerdyNavyWife on June 11, 2013 at 3:05pm: The Navy is moving me...thank goodness. But we are just beginning the process now. ugh.

Comment by UrabissWife on June 11, 2013 at 3:03pm: it would be super stressful b/c your husband isn't there to help. are you moving yourself or in the navy moving you?

Comment by NerdyNavyWife on June 11, 2013 at 2:03pm: Have any wives on here moved to Great Lakes while their Husband was in A school. Mine will be there at least 6 months, and we are in the process of moving me. Any Tips, tricks, Suggestions, advice? I am finding the first move very stressful.

Comment by LynBon on June 11, 2013 at 12:48am: I hope you get base housing, everything is less then five minutes away, and being close to base is good especially if your hubby has to muster at 5:30 am

Comment by LynBon on June 11, 2013 at 12:43am: Its about as muggy and buggy as florida, but pretty pleasant.

On your way here, if you drive, stop by the welcoming center for Sc and pick up broschures* there it will help for when you can go out into town. And you should note that the closer to the university you are the worse the drivers.
