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 Cobi prince on April 29, 2012 at 11:01pm: its there any navy wives in San Diego??

Comment by Cobi prince on April 29, 2012 at 8:10pm: Is there certain groups for different things I'm new to the navy wives group so I don't know much but my husband is stationed in San Diego and I will be moving there in about two months so just wondering if there's a group for San Diego?

Comment by Skyla (SHIP 07 DIV 191) on April 28, 2012 at 11:11am: Ok thanks so much I definitely plan to join his PIR group as soon as I find it out :)

Comment by KikiOtter on April 25, 2012 at 11:55am: Navywifekita- mine grads the 11th, & he just said in todays letter that he just got the info that he'll be in groton for training (which he already knew) & the # of days for it (im assuming this was just the info for BESS though cause the # makes about 8 weeks). They have additional training after BESS before they goto A-school though & that's about another 8 weeks. Didnt know we could move right after BESS. :-/ thought we had to wait to find out how long A-school is first. (hubs is secf, won't know specifics til he's placed).

Julie- we have a 4 (almost 5) year old, and I felt the same way. Always keeping the emotions in check for him & then feeling bad at the same for not crying over my hubs. It's hard some days (especially in the beginning), but once the letters start it helps. Stay busy (with kids it isn't hard, lol). Add me as a friend on here if you like. :) hang in there!

Comment by Julie (ship 3 division 188) on April 24, 2012 at 9:36pm: Got my husbands "box" today :( talk about tough... The only thing missing in hos box was him. I have done so good lately but the box was rough for me. We habe a 5 year old so I am trying to stay strong for him. I almost feel bad for not crying for my husband. I guess today is a hard day for me.

Comment by Navywifekita on April 24, 2012 at 6:30pm: Hello, my husband graduates bess next Friday...does anyone know when they usually get their new orders? I think 2 ppl already have theirs that's in his class and can move their wives down the day after bess!

Comment by PaulaP (Ship11/Div 178) on April 23, 2012 at 12:03am: I'm a mom, but be sure and join Boot Camp for Mom's and your husband's ship and division number if he is in boot camp. Lots of great information and you feel a little more connected. Hang in there ladies!!!

Comment by KikiOtter on April 22, 2012 at 2:59pm: Kimmery- Totally understand. We have a 4 year old, and if it weren't for currently living with the in-laws, I don't know how we would have made it through the first month. Thought we had enough money set back, but guess couple auto payments got dorked up and double-dipped. Was soooo hoping he'd be one of the rare ones that happened to get the first check early. lol wishful hoping. But, it was all there by week 4 so we're fine now. Just no way to tell if the BAH or separation pay is there or anything. Even the recruits don't have access yet to their pay stubs. Don't know when they get the info on how to pull them up on the computer.
