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 UrabissWife on May 28, 2013 at 1:17pm: how exciting you got all his information :) my husband graduated a year ago the 13th of july :) its going to be WARM in IL :)

Comment by BrylerBug on May 28, 2013 at 12:16pm: I had one of those nights last night too. Everything I looked at in our home made me cry because we bought it together. I swear these pregnancy hormones just make it 10X worse than it should be! Oy!

Buuuut.... I got a call from my SR this morning, just when I was really falling apart. It was for security clearance information, but we were able to talk about other things, too!

I haven't received my form letter (should today or tomorrow), but he told me he is on Ship 3 Div 262 graduating July 12th! It's nice to have the date! 1/4th of the way through!!!

Comment by UrabissWife on May 28, 2013 at 1:26am: im sorry girl :/ nights were the hardest for me. too much time to think. you'll be in his arms before you know it :) cheer up

Comment by Crystal24 on May 27, 2013 at 11:53pm: having one of those nights where I just miss him so much! ship 14 div 231 uss Arizona. almost there

Comment by UrabissWife on May 25, 2013 at 5:37pm: you're very welcome. and congratulations on the baby :P

Comment by BrylerBug on May 25, 2013 at 3:55pm: Thank you UrabissWife! I will definitely be calling them to get everything going asap! I qualify for Tricare Prime Remote, so I will be able to use the hospital that I was planning on delivering at - just have to get all the paperwork set up.

Thanks so much for the information!!!!

Comment by UrabissWife on May 25, 2013 at 3:08pm: i wonder if there is away you can call Tricare and get that paperwork on its way since it takes about a month for it to get going and you are due soon. i would try and call them. you should only need your husbands social security number. and explain your situation. they are normally really nice. if you get someone who is rude just hang up and call back :) here is the link http://www.tricare.mil/ContactUs.aspx

Comment by UrabissWife on May 25, 2013 at 3:04pm: Bryler, even if you do go into labor, they navy shouldcover you. just b/c you don't have the insurance or DEERs packet doesn't mean you are not in the system. they put you in the system long before you get the info. once you get your military ID you already have basic insurance. b/c you are having a baby I suggest you fill out the paper work to get Tricare prime. with Prime you don't have to pay a penny for anything. at least I haven't had to will all the times ive had to go to the doctor/ER :P make sure as soon as you get your info that you call Tricare and get your doctor set up. that way you can be prepared for that baby :) ....the navy assigns you a doctor ....if you live away from a base you should be able to pick your doctor with prime. but only some doctors take Tricare.

Comment by LadyShai85 on May 25, 2013 at 2:33am: That is exciting news Bryler!!! I am sure you were happy for that box! I know I was certainly happy when I received mine. The rest will come soon.
