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 camenae on March 10, 2011 at 10:10pm: I have a call in to the financial counselor on the base closest to me. Unfortunately she didn't call me back today. I'll call her again tomorrow.

Monica, problem with that is he's still in A school and his schooling is less than 20 weeks. I was told the Navy wouldn't move me over there if it less than that. Trust me, I would LOVE to live in Florida, hehe!

Comment by camenae on March 10, 2011 at 4:22pm: Sorry...the question is: Does ANYONE know of ANYTHING that could help us?!

Comment by camenae on March 10, 2011 at 4:22pm: Ok, ladies...I have a question for you:

My husband went into the Navy with bad credit due to paying his bills late thanks to not being able to find a job for almost a year before enlisting. I haven't had a job for a year due to being laid off. We live in an area where there just aren't a lot of jobs being offered. I'm taking care of the bills while he's in A school. We need some sort of debt relief and we cannot get any type of consolidation loan, personal loan, etc. due to his credit score and my current unemployment (I have a great credit score but they won't put me as primary b/c of no income). I need help getting through this! I feel like I'm going to cry. We're newly married, no savings due to the LOVELY economy, and I'm nervous we won't have any money to move when he gets his orders in a few months!

Comment by Vanessa on March 8, 2011 at 2:40pm: It's nice to hear all of these positive comments about San Diego! My hubby is there for STG A-School while I'm finishing up my degree. If he gets accepted into the 6yr program, I may be moving out there! I'm going there in a few weeks for my spring break, he will have class every day, but at least we'll see each other at night/on the weekends.

Comment by Jenacfs on March 8, 2011 at 10:22am: Hope she feels better, i hate it when my little one is sick too. It breaks my heart. I really hope we get a letter this week, i would love to know how they are doing there.

Comment by Jenacfs on March 7, 2011 at 9:43pm: Kiwi, i hope everything is okay!! Sorry to hear your little one is sick.

Comment by camenae on March 7, 2011 at 1:38am: Because it gives us a date to circle on the calendar. As soon as I found out my husband's PIR date from boot camp, I put it in my "countdown" widget on my phone. I looked at it MULTIPLE times a day, especially those days I just couldn't get him out of my head!

Comment by Jenacfs on March 7, 2011 at 12:42am: Hey there, sorry about the tooth. Ouch is all is have to say!!! I think since i found out the graduation date i wrote him three time. Crazy how it does make us feel better. Thanks...

Comment by TropikalParadize on March 7, 2011 at 12:30am: Megs- I have been having the same problem! I left it alone and figured I would try another day? Not sure what to do on that one...but I can't log in either

Jenacfs- I'm not pregnant, but have been irrationally emotional and crying all the time since my husband left on 2/15...as soon as he left, I had to take antibiotics for an infected tooth, which messed with my birth control, and then I had to get the tooth pulled, and now its that time of the month...and I will start crying and getting depressed for everything, because everything reminds me of him. I know it will get better, but I understand being so sad without him. I write him everyday, and that helps!

Comment by Jenacfs on March 7, 2011 at 12:05am: Today was a rough day, i think i am losing it. All day i cried and i am pretty sure it is mostly the hormones since i am preggos. I had my first trip to orlando by myself without my hubby and i was so sad and missing him like crazy. I really hope this feeling goes away.
