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."

Hi ladies - just wanted to poke my head in and say "hi". I'm a mom, so I've been lurking for a little while. My son was PIR 2/19, so he is just entering Phase III. Anyway, blessings to you all. You are a terrific bunch of ladies and your guys are blessed to have you! :-) You've taught me a lot, but I haven't chimed in, since my situation isn't as a wife, but as a mom. I was an army wife once though, so lots of what you are talking about I do understand and identify with. I hope you guys receive everything that you need regarding housing, funds, wedding plans, etc etc etc.

Well ladies all he found out if he can do the DITY move but we have to have $2000 + in our bank account and they don'[t pay for the plane tickets. He is supposed to do the actual housing brief tomorrow so I guess we will see then! Arrghh feeling a little frustrated with the Navy right now

What would I do without you guys!?!? You are the best, thank you! Hopefully I will get a call today from him that says he is on his way home

I just talked to Brent, he is there and settled into the bachelor quarters. Loving it much more then GL haha. I can't wait to be there and join him. He said he has the housing brief tomorrow so I guess we will see then when he gets to come home! Do you guys think they will let him leave Thurs? He doesn't start school until the 10th

My husband should be in Goose Creek right now!!! I am so excited. I talked to him early this morning before he left O'Hare and he was so ready to get out of IL. I hope I will be getting a call any moment now telling me he is on his way home :)

as far as size, i'm not sure but i will ask my boyfriend any other specifics. I think it can't be a rolling one either... And you're going to want some sort of handle on top because when they are in dress blues/whites they can't have it on their shoulders. I think this is standard with most.
also, if they have a backpack, they can just get a laptop case and put the case inside if you can't find an inexpensive one that have a place for laptops (they get pricey).

amanda, thank you...do you know any of the other rules such as size etc? I will find an all black one before I go because he is not going to spend $100.00 he'd probably just try to carry it
