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."

My husband's PIR is 04/29... He is a MM and will be going to A school in Goose Creek, SC.

He gave me the impression that he will be in SC for a few days then come home to move me...

Other wives have told me that it has taken up to 30 days before they were able to join their husbands 

at A school.

I would appreciate any feedback  you are willing to give! Thank you!!

It really depends on how fast they get put through. When my husband was down here, he had only one other married guy in his group (eventually more came within the next week or so) things seemed to go faster for the others with a bigger group. We came down just this February, he got her Jan 27th and he didn’t get the marriage brief till about that Wednesday and we didn’t get to move down till Feb 26. But he did get to leave the 21st and we picked him up at the airport that night. He signed our lease that morning. Then we met our movers down here in goose creek on Sunday. The housing though is crowded currently, been told there has been a longer waiting list. It changes all the time though. 

Do you guys have a child? Sometimes they won’t even have them leave to come back to move you unless you can’t drive for some reason or if you have a child. Usually they will only let them leave to help move if it’s for those reasons.
