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."

If she hasn't already, she will need to put in a chit requesting extra leave time between A school and reporting to Kitsap. I'm not sure how the housing is assigned, but she could try to call the base housing number over there, which is 360-396-4399. She would have to call during lunch break because their hours are 7:30a-4p.

Hello All. I don't know if I am on the right group to be asking my question, but thought I would give it a shot. My daughter got her orders for Kitsap..We are wondering what is the procedure for getting her car out there and moving some of her furniture. Will she be assigned to housing right away? Also, she is planning on getting married in between A school and arriving at Kitsap - I am trying to postpone this, but she is very headstrong. Does anyone know if she just shows up with her new husband? Does he wait until she gets housing. She has tried talking to her sponsor in San Antonio but not getting much help. She is so busy with school and is extremely stressed out about how all this works. I am trying to help by doing research but I can find any specific answers..

ElizabethA, He will fly out on the Saturday after PIR. He will not be able to leave the base the weekend that he arrives at Lackland because he will not have completed INDOC yet, but you could visit him on the base if you chose and if he does not have duties.
Check your My Page. I left info for you.
