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 allybelle on August 12, 2010 at 2:50pm: I just wanted to say hello to everyone and to see if anyone here had a husband who was about to start OCS at the end of August.

Comment by maddy08 on August 7, 2010 at 10:49pm: That's cool. What does his job entail? Do you move around with him?

Comment by maddy08 on July 31, 2010 at 1:00pm: Hello everyone! My name is Amanda and my fiance graduated last May from the naval academy. We just moved to NAS Pensacola and are getting married next month! I'm still very new to this lifestyle so any advice for the future from you ladies would be greatly appreciated :)

Comment by Sweet*Southern*Lady on May 24, 2010 at 10:40pm: Anyone's loved one at NSI in Newport, RI??

Comment by Sweet*Southern*Lady on April 7, 2010 at 9:03pm: Where to fly into for Newport,RI? I can't figure out how to travel there. Thanks for any help.

Comment by KateJeannineShip07div243 on March 11, 2010 at 9:23pm: My husband just left for OCS last week, class 15-10, March 7th. I'm excited to find this site and have the support of other women who have been through this!

Comment by chasity22 on February 20, 2010 at 3:12pm: hello ladies :) It's great to talk with all of you and get some much needed information/advice! My husband is about to report to OCS March 7th, and I was just wondering about the timeline of events which are going to take place, i.e. when he'll get to call home, RLP, liberty, graduation, etc... It's all kinda new to me and he really is kinda in the dark about a lot of things too! My husband also will be in the SNA program and I assume will leave for Pensacola shortly there after RI... I know most of you have already gone through this and it's great to be able to get some peace of mind about the whole process! Thanks so much ;)
