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 Hollybear on September 30, 2010 at 12:05am: As far as the id.... he will have to take you to base and go to PSD. There they will look at your picture ID and birth certificate (or SS card) then they will look at your marriage certificate and make you an ID. If he is not in the smae place yo uare he needs to go see a yeoman in his command and ask them for the form ( I forget the number though) and you will need to take the form and the previously mentioned IDs and marriage certificate to a local base and they can help you ( call ahead and ask what the hours are and what you need exactly) and it can be any military base. I got my first one at an Air Force base.

As far as the dity move... He will get the papers he needs from his command. You will need to weigh your truck empty and loaded and keep ALL gas receipts. He can ask for some of the money up front for the move and they will reimburse you for the rest after you get there and fill out the paperwork and send it in BUT if you do not do the paperwork and send it in they will not pay you and will take the money back that they fronted for your move. I don't know your husbands rank so I don't know the weight you are allowed to move. It varies based on the rank and dependents. The amount of money is different for each move and it is based on how much stuff you have, how far you move, and all that good stuff. Militaryonesource.com has a lot of helpful info on moving.

Comment by Sam0618 on September 29, 2010 at 11:57pm: my husband is now in meridian, ms for school but he will be done within the next 2 weeks. we are STILL not sure what his orders are but the only place he put on his dream sheet was norfok, so were hoping for there. we want to do a DITY move cuz we dont have that much stuff. where do we start for this type of move? and how much money can you actually make on this move? and when do you get that money? any help would be great...thanks!!

Comment by josteph(Ship02/Div952) on September 21, 2010 at 12:06pm: I called my husband's recruiter yesterday and got his address. I'm so excited to send off the first letter today. Does anyone have a husband or family member in Ship 02 Div 952?

Comment by Casey<3Will on September 21, 2010 at 9:38am: Congrats O'KaneWifey!!!! Good for him! My husband is on deployment too :(

Comment by josteph(Ship02/Div952) on September 16, 2010 at 8:20pm: I look forward to receiving the form letter with the address of where to write my husband. I'm looking forward even more to his PIR. I got a call from him last night and it lasted only 47 seconds. It was super quick, just hello and I love you and I gotta go. I'm glad I found this forum for support. My husband is going to be a SeaBee!
