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 NavyWife10 on November 24, 2010 at 12:06am: KLP- I'll give you my honest experience.. Bootcamp was a NIGHTMARE for me.. :( I was miserable the whole time, and stayed depressed.. Although, it DOES get easier, just find whatever you can to try to pass time, that's all the advice I really have.. The day of graduation will make the whole experience WELL worth the 7-8 weeks of loneliness though. It's just a long waiting process.. My husband graduated from basic in May, and we're still not able to live together.. it will be exactly one year from the date he left before we are together again.. Stay strong, and good luck to you both!. Oh yea, and WRITE WRITE WRITE! Everyday! :) They LIVE for mail call, I promise! :) :)
