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 aveoamare(Ship02div925) on April 15, 2011 at 3:14pm: Hi BFair! It gets easier, my hubby is PIR 5/6. The letters start pouring in and the time really starts to fly by. Is your hubby going to be on sub duty or no?

Comment by camenae on April 12, 2011 at 11:10pm: Just found out that my husband graduates A school on June 10 and that he should get his orders in about 2 weeks. After that, I'll be stressing about moving!

Comment by aveoamare(Ship02div925) on April 10, 2011 at 2:37pm: So jealous, I want to move to SD! Hubby is still in boot camp though so moving is a long way away.

Comment by TropikalParadize on April 10, 2011 at 1:11pm: Courtney -- that's great!! So nice to only have to move a short distance, I guess ours is fairly short too, we are from Oregon, so at least we don't have to fly!! Haha we will be looking into housing too...they look really nice for the SD area! We are so excited, have been wanting to move down for ages! It looks so beautiful down there!!

Comment by Courtney (Adam's wife) <3 on April 10, 2011 at 1:05pm: Tropikal- yay! We already live in north county SD. Now that my hubby is stationed here, we'll move into housing sometime over the summer. I hope you enjoy it! We've grown up here and think SD is the best! :)

Comment by Brittany proud Navy Wife :) on April 10, 2011 at 12:36am: Hi Everyone! Just wanted to say hi! Ive been on my hubbys PIR group talking with all the moms for a few weeks and just found this group! Think it will be great to talk to other wives!

Comment by TropikalParadize on April 9, 2011 at 10:56pm: This is really funny! 33 is the magic number! My husband is also 33!! Yes, very nice to know there are other "older" Sailors just starting out!

Courtney - SD as in San Diego? We will be moving there next month!!

Comment by Courtney (Adam's wife) <3 on April 9, 2011 at 8:58pm: My hubby is 33 also... We should have a group for older recruits/sailors :) It's nice to know my hubby isn't the only "older" one. He is in C school now and will be home to SD in 13 days! :)

Comment by Babyryin (Mandy) on April 9, 2011 at 4:22pm: Hi. As an intro, my husband left for Great Lakes on Tuesday April 5th. I just got his address yesterday but have not received PIR date yet. He is (or will be) an LS on a Submarine so he will go to MS for A School then CT for Sub School.

We have been married almost 2 years with a little girl. We just spent our first week without him and realized, we are pretty lame. He was the excitment in our household. I came home to his box on the front porch yesterday and it took my breath away.

We are excited and somewhat ready for the new adventures we have ahead of us, but I have quickly learned that taking things one day at a time may be a new pattern for me for a long time to come.

I am glad to have a group to join that will understand and inform. Thanks to everyone for being here.
