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."

I am a soon-to-be wife. My fiancé and I are tying the knot before the end of this year while he is in A school.

That's so exciting! What rate did he get and how long is A school? My husband and I celebrated our 8 year wedding anniversary the day before he shipped out. :) We also have a little boy who is 3 years old.

Aw! Congrats to you and your husband for your eight years of marriage! My fiancé and I have been together for close to six years, so we are both beyond ready to start that next chapter in our lives. I am going to PM you about the rate, etc. :-). How is your 3 year old adjusting to his father not being around? I am definitely going to be asking you questions about DEERS and BAH! Just started doing my research on that. I am the type that likes to stay well informed, thus do a lot of reading! Will you be moving to your husband's A-School with him?

My son does pretty good most days. He has his moments though where he is just tired of not seeing his Daddy and he gets upset. I understand about reading a ton. When my hubby first started talking to me about the Navy I researched EVERYTHING like a mad woman! We will be moving to be closer to my husband but I believe it technically won't be until his C School. I requested you as a friend and will wait for your PM to further explain that. :o) Will you be going to Great Lakes for PIR?

Hello Ladies,
I just happened to spot this the other day in the discussion forum. I asked the creator of another group if I could direct you there...it is "Advice for new spouses." She was in my PIR group(05/26/2011) and started this just recently...they are helping each other through the process of being a new Navy Spouse.
Hope this is helpful, informative and that you form new friendships!
