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 RosaEdsmom on April 6, 2010 at 1:23pm: What do they have to do, to earn those "great looking" vest?

Comment by Rae Mikes Girl (Goose Creek MM) on April 5, 2010 at 2:34am: We have discussed that shelli, but he has a really good friend in his class right now, and he wants a study budy, i wouldnt ask him to give that up. i dont mind waiting.

Comment by Rae Mikes Girl (Goose Creek MM) on April 2, 2010 at 4:05pm: Hey ladies-

So i just have a few questions. Mike and I have decided that we want to get married. Now i understand that he has to ask permission, and that once he has asked we can get married. But we are facing a predicament in terms of moving. Mike just started A-school. He said that in class the other day, they were told that they only have one week between the end of A-school and Power school.

I was planning on moving out between A-School and Power school, but now I am worried about base housing and being able to move on base without delaying his next set of classes. I was looking for any advice that any one could offer. I dont know how to go about this process any more, and any help is welcome. Thanks ladies!!

Comment by Traci (Perry's wife Nuke EM) on April 1, 2010 at 3:16pm: Thanks Dan's mom! I appreciate the warm welcome. It's very easy to get lonely with him gone so its nice to see such a large welcoming community here! This will absolutely make the waiting easier.

Comment by Traci (Perry's wife Nuke EM) on March 31, 2010 at 11:26pm: Hi everyone! I just wanted to say hi, I'm new :) My husband is in boot camp currently and then he's headed for Charleston! So it looks like I'll be moving a bit up the coast (I'm in FL). I haven't really heard much from him yet since he's only been in bc since the 24th but just coming onto this site and reading all the information! It's wonderful and overwhelming. There's so much to know!

Comment by Navy/ArmyMom on March 31, 2010 at 10:47pm: That's a bit of a hard one, Phyllis. Would it be possible for them to bring the car to him?

Comment by Navy/ArmyMom on March 31, 2010 at 6:47pm: Moms and Wives, they are very busy amongst themselves at the IKE group, but I took the liberty of telling them that all of us Nuke moms and wives are praying for our missing sailor. I'm not going to bother them anymore as they are talking amongst themselves. I hope that y'all don't mind that I said we were all praying for them. If anyone missed the link, here it is again:

Comment by GrandmaB on March 31, 2010 at 6:38pm: Thank you Catie and Casey. On base housing do you pay for your utilities or does that all come with the cost of your BAQ? When you are first married, what is the housing like? 2 bedroom 2 bath? Are there job opportunities for the spouse?
