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 TashaShip04Div821 on August 22, 2010 at 4:07pm: Hello Ladies! Nice to see a bunch of wives that are in the same boat as me! I feel less of a loner now hehe. I hope you all are having a beautiful Sunday!

Comment by Lilly(JG Corpsman) on August 21, 2010 at 12:54am: That is so cool jamielyn..... :)

Comment by jamielyn on August 20, 2010 at 5:03pm: Nevermind, when I got home from work his box of belongings was here... :(
he did stick a note in the box for me which was a nice surprise!

Comment by jamielyn on August 20, 2010 at 1:20pm: Hi Lilly, my husband also left for GL this past Monday, I haven't received his box of stuff yet though. I can't wait to get his address so I can finally start sending him letters! I started writing the day he left haha

Comment by JCPDB (RP Wife) on August 19, 2010 at 9:48pm: LTLY...and Lilly = I completely agree with what you (LTLY) said about getting all those tears out. I had allotted time in the shower/bath to be my "sad time". Even though I live alone (now that he's gone). I would get in the shower and just wail and not worry about anybody hearing me. It also allowed for me not to hold everything inside and it come out at the wrong place at the wrong time (like at work people asking me how I am, or he is, etc.). I always felt so much better afterwards. He just graduated boot camp this last weekend...

Comment by JCPDB (RP Wife) on August 19, 2010 at 9:41pm: I'm sorry Lilly I misread your post. My husband just graduated from bootcamp at GL. But I can still be helpful to you, since I just went through all that with my husband. Let me know if you have any questions, and I'll do my best to provide you with answers.

Comment by JCPDB (RP Wife) on August 19, 2010 at 9:38pm: Lilly my husband just left GL Monday too. He went to Ft. Jackson, SC

Comment by Lilly(JG Corpsman) on August 19, 2010 at 9:08pm: You're right! I can't wait to get his address to start mailing him the letters....Is there anyone in the group that their spouse left to GL this past Monday too?
