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 Hope-Nuke ET Wife on May 28, 2010 at 8:54am: Question - Where is a good place to get a cake made for a birthday party?

Comment by Hope-Nuke ET Wife on May 28, 2010 at 8:30am: Yea, We signed up on Monday and were told not to bring my kiddo with me to appointments here on base.. So now I don't know what to think.

Comment by Cynthia=Proud Nuke Mommy on May 27, 2010 at 10:55pm: Hello everyone,

My son Erik arrived in Goose Creek yesterday. Settling in and trimming those bushes. Having survived BC, I'm now graduating and becoming a Nuke Momma.

Glad to be here,
Cynthia

Comment by smwill on May 27, 2010 at 1:40pm: Hello all! My wonderful husband got transfered down here to Charleston last August, and I still don't know anyone!

Comment by Kristen (Greg, Nuke ET3's Wife) on May 27, 2010 at 12:50pm: Thank you all.. now I don't feel as stressed out. And ugh I went through 2 pregnancies, I REALLY don't want another exam! But oh well!.. used it I guess. :-/

Comment by Ashia on May 27, 2010 at 11:50am: I just called the appointment hotline for NWS Branch Medical and told me that she's never heard of a rule where you can't bring your children. To get BC you have to have a full gyno exam and that could make it difficult/ awkward with kids past a certain age.

Comment by SumiK0125 (wife of a Nuke MM) on May 27, 2010 at 10:56am: i just recently signed up for my tricare (hubby is still at bootcamp)
and i was told the exact same thing.
No children at my doctors appts. he is only allowed to go to ones specifically for him.
i signed up two weeks ago.....

Comment by Kristen (Greg, Nuke ET3's Wife) on May 27, 2010 at 10:52am: I'm confused! :S

Comment by Hope-Nuke ET Wife on May 27, 2010 at 8:34am: Angela- We were told when we set up our tricare that my son is not allowed to come with me to my appointments and he was only to be at ones made for him.
