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 gnomesweetgnome Ship 11/Div199 on June 7, 2011 at 10:12pm: Lepus...message me any time. These relationships are so complicated. We have to be here for each other. *hugs*

Comment by Janae' *My Love is HOME :)* on June 7, 2011 at 6:15pm: Mrs Hall, the Hampton Roads area is awesome, but that is just my opinion. If you aren't getting base housing, then Hampton or VA Beach would be a better choice than Norfolk because most of Norfolk is in bad areas. Before my husband left for deployment we had an apartment n Downton hampton and I absolutely loved it. It's wasn't far from anything and it was pretty cheap for there... We found it on rent.com and after they proved that we moved in an apartment we found from them they sent us a 100 dollar visa gift card... I hope this helps.

Comment by Lepus120724 on June 7, 2011 at 1:14am: Thank you Gnome. I do need to join some groups and I am just not sure what is available here yet. I need to do a little more research and make more of an effort. Thank you for your thoughts and support. It's helpful just to know someone understands. Right now I'm struggling a bit because I don't think my husband really understands "my side of the story" all that well and although he means well and he is wonderful I am feeling a little bit lost as to how to explain things to him without making it seem like I'm complaining or placing blame. I don't want him to feel that way because that isn't how I feel.
