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."

It's already Feb, which means this month will fly ladies!! Navywife: Do you know anything about how long average schooling is for SECF, I'm curious as to whether I'll be able to live with him after I'm done with school or not. I keep seeing 18 weeks plus 8 BESS. But his recruiter said something like 2 years!

Hi Ashley. Yes its like a year if not more. Depending on what exact rate....but they will move you with him. Hook up with Ryan Hannahssailor from the 3/18 pir group. He is actually in a school in Groton now! He knows everything and is super friendly about giving us info. Looks like we might be neighbors me and you! Lol

I'm so happy to hear they'll move me. I was afraid when I got done with school in August I'd have to go even longer without seeing him in person:( I'll have to start talking to him, I know both my SR and I could use all of the information we can get. It would be nice to have people I know when we do move with him! You surely can't be in this alone!

You should get the form letter within a few days then, they say usually 10 days or so after they leave for BC. And yes it was through regular mail:)
