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 bsobo on September 19, 2011 at 9:53pm: Oh gosh I hope that I get 7 calls!!!! I cannot wait to hear from him...

Comment by corpsmanwifeschu on September 18, 2011 at 3:07am: At RTC, they call home when the RDC schedules the calls. Calls are am earned privilege and can be taken away. I did get the majority of my calls while I was at work, and my schedule always changes. So glad I have am understanding boss. So glad boot is over with.

Comment by bsobo on September 16, 2011 at 8:02am: Does anyone known when they typically call home? Is it weekends?

Comment by corpsmanwifeschu on September 14, 2011 at 11:48am: Hubby got his verbal orders a couple weeks ago, about half way through A school. He still has another four weeks to go. I've told him I'm not believing them until he sends me a picture of his written orders. We still won't be moving to him until almost two months after he gets there. Sigh. Can it be graduation yet?

Comment by bsobo on September 14, 2011 at 7:10am: My husband will be in a school for three months!!! How are you doing with the deployment?

Comment by bsobo on September 13, 2011 at 1:24am: I hope so. I feel like it's taking forever. Is your husband stationed somewhere yet? I'm curious how far into a school will you know your duty station, I know it's a long way off.

Comment by bsobo on September 12, 2011 at 10:18pm: Hi. My husband just left for basic on sept 7 I wanted to see if anyone knows when the paperwork would come in for me to get my military Id? Thanks

Comment by ATI wife on September 12, 2011 at 11:50am: A new group to try and help out those of you who live or plan on moving to Pensacola, Fl while your sailor is in A school .. Feel free to share experiences or just ask questions .. Thanx

Comment by corpsmanwifeschu on September 8, 2011 at 2:44pm: Paula, according to wiki, a Fid is a tool used with ropes. Don't know if that helps or not. Gotta love the military and all of their acronyms.
I do not know how to tell if the orders are accompanied or not, still have yet to see my hubby's. I've time him I won't believe what his verbals are. I love the phrase I've seen used, verbals aren't worth the paper they're written on. I wish I could help more.

Comment by Paula on September 7, 2011 at 1:53pm: This has probably been asked before and will seem silly, but due to a complicated situation the sooner I know the better my mind will by eased. What would it say on my husbands orders to let me know if he got accompanied orders? And, I guess, does anyone know as a safety precaution how to get those changed if I'm not? It's in the states, so no worry about command sponsorship. Also, does anyone know what FID means?
