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."

There have been a number  of questions about what wives can do related to Housing at Goose Creek while their Nuke-to-Be Husband is still in Boot Camp - or at Goose Creek and unable to initiate the process yet for any reason.

This may, or may not, help.

Here is the official Video the Navy put up on Youtube regarding the Heat Link,

But the Other Links on the Official Navy "links to housing related information" were also useful.

I have a question about moving to Goose Creek. When we arrive I will need to get a rental car until I buy a new car (which I plan on doing within a couple days of arriving). Will my husband be able to help me unload the moving truck, return the the truck, and pick up a rental car and/or new car or do his driving restrictions start automatically when he checks back in? Thanks!

Thanks, so is your hubs gonna be ballistic, fast attack, or surface now? I heard CT wasn't ballistic. I'm so nervous we won't get it!
Comment by torreswife10 on September 28, 2011 at 10:29am
Where did you put to be stationed at for your husband's wish list? And if he was a sub vol, did he get sub like he asked for?
Comment by Kelli_wife of JP on September 28, 2011 at 12:39am

We have used Penske both times and have never had a problem with them. We like using them actually. I mean we only needed one truck. We would pick it up the day or two before, load it, weigh it and then drive.. Then when we got to the new destination we unloaded it, weighed it empty and then returned it that day.
