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."

I checked my mail box three times today (just in case the mail man came super late or forgot my letter and had to return lol) just to make sure and was super bummed when I arrived home tonight and there was still no letter:(. I hope we both have better news tomorrow. Hang in there!

Comment by Lizzie_Corpsmanwife on March 27, 2014 at 5:51pm: abuon18 thanks girl for answering that for me

Wifeofasailor1 it'll come girl and your mood will turn around so fast because of that letter and phone call trust me :)

Comment by wifeofasailor1( LS A school) on March 27, 2014 at 5:36pm: No letter yet still waiting. My mood right now is bad!!

Comment by abuon18 on March 25, 2014 at 5:25pm: It's usually included in their initial contract if they are going to have C school. I think for certain rates they can choose in boot camp or A school if they want to adds C school but they have to add time to their initial enlistment. I am not too familiar with corpsman school except I remember when my friend's husband was in corpsman A school he got to choose which C school he wanted to go to (basically which medical area he wanted to concentrate in). They also give them a choice of going FMF which may change their initial contract as well.

Comment by Lizzie_Corpsmanwife on March 25, 2014 at 4:44pm: Question ladies about A school... do sailor choose C school or is it like when they signed up that they told them these jobs are available? My husband will be going to San Antonio and I am wondering how that works with c school.
