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 AshJewell on November 23, 2010 at 11:58am: Thanks everyone, I was simply saying what was on my heart. I may not be as strong as I want to at times, but I know that as his wife I need to be supportive and stay strong!
Now I need help from you guys: I want to write a letter to my husband from our unborn baby. I cant find much online, but if any of you have suggestions for the letter I would love to hear them. I want my hubby to feel included in this pregnancy and I thought a letter from the baby would be a good way to put a smile on his face! I am open to suggestions (=

Comment by DramaboysMom on November 23, 2010 at 11:43am: Ash Nuke wife et el... remember their words.... Honor Courage and Commitment. You have shown us all how important those words are. My son is in this PIR and also headed for Navy Nuke. Keep the faith!

Comment by nicole (ship 12 division 041) on November 22, 2010 at 9:15pm: Ashley - Thanks for the information :) I'll try to get in contact with his recruiter to figure out whether he's a grad and go or not!

Comment by AshJewell on November 22, 2010 at 9:06pm: THANKS Navyfam and NS (= Enjoy your turkey day!

Comment by AshJewell on November 22, 2010 at 9:05pm: Nicole-You can call the recruiter they may know, if not you will have to wait for your recruit to give you that information. I know NS and I are staying at the Ramada. It has an indoor pool, hot tub and a meet n greet, and its pretty reasonable. Good luck with the plans!

Comment by nicole (ship 12 division 041) on November 22, 2010 at 9:01pm: I want to start planning for my boyfriend's graduation.... Are there any recommendations for hotels? How will I know if my boyfriend is a grad and go? Will my boyfriend's recruiter have that information?
