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."

lol me young yes but my hubs no :D
oh you'll get an adventure all right i had never been out of my home town till my husband joined the navy and wow i have seen/experienced so much in such a short period of time.. it all happens sooo fast, wow he'll be an e3 out of boot thats great i think my husband was e2 out of boot not for sure but i think that sounds about right.. my husband is undecided where he would like to go after this sea tour but i would like to go someplace else overseas like Italy or something since he will be on shore duty. plus, i would love for my son to experience new places so far he has seen tx, CT, GA, FL all of the states in between GA and TX and all the states between TX and WA now he has seen japan and Guam such a busy little 6 yr old haha.. oh yea i forgot about great lakes, maryland, and new york haha.
so what do you think of the navy so far?

Oh, he's E3 right now. Well I guess officially after BC. Well anyway, I don't really mind where we go, I'm up for an adventure. I've never left NJ except for short vacations and its about time I saw some other places. I suppose it keeps you young, being called newly weds for such a long time!

ummmn you can still come to guam even with a young child but your husband has to be a certain rank to be able to get accompanied orders to some place overseas.. true they much rather send single sailors cause the navy thinks it is to stressful on newlywed couples.. even though we have been married for 6 yrs the navy still considers us newlyweds haha..
this whole overseas orders i am still confused on cause a lot of stuff we were told we have seen opposite..
-

I'm ot sure the way it works.. But from I've been told is that they rather send singles overeseas .. But again I can be wrong
-
-
is it true that because we have a young son they won't send us overseas? Guam looks pretty neat.

Were in jersey?
-
-
we're from Jersey as well. I'm hoping for california or hawaii. I want to be somewhere nice and warm!! =) My husband is E3 already, I wonder why they made him choose a job so quickly when others didn't have to. He could have turned it down but then they wouldn't let him ship out to boot camp when he did.

Oh wow! Well Good night. Lol.
-
-
