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."

Welcome everyone! = )

Welcome, just as a heads up in the discussion section... I wrote a discssion about moving, BAH, schooling etc.. it will answer a lot of your questions so read please = )

I just found this and thought it was cute...

My sailor.Submariner

I love My Sailor so deeply and true

He is my Husband, my Friend and a Daddy too

He chose his fate when signed that line

To become a Submariner and serve his time

As the Submarine is prepped and the workday ends

He comes home to tell me, "It is that time again"

The night before "The Boat" gets underway

We prepare ourselves for that dreaded day

He Packs his sea bag so snug and tight

For it will be time to leave at dawn's early light

With his sea bag across his shoulder

and the tears in his eyes we know it is time for all the goodbyes

My Sailor and his crew are running silent and deep

Protecting our freedom while awake or asleep

For the beautiful flag flies freely in the wind

My sailor will proudly salute it until the very end

Comment by Lauren - Sub Wife - Bangor, Wash on March 3, 2011 at 9:30pm: SubWife2010, My husband had that going on in his class too : ( . When we finally got the orders it was great but also a bit strange to know something after living with so much mystery for so long.

BonnieMae, I am originally from the Pacific Northwest too, we had been hoping for orders there, I am looking forward to the lovely green even though it comes with so much gray sky. Are you already stationed somewhere?

Comment by SubWife2010 on March 2, 2011 at 10:18am: Thanks Bonnie!:) I hope we find out more today!

Comment by Bri.SubWife on March 1, 2011 at 10:01pm: hope all you ladies are doing well!!

we have been SO busy getting ready for our reception/going away party and moving in a WEEK!!!

first duty station, this shall be fun!! i can't WAIT! and it's been weird having my Sailor home since the 25th!! BUT I LOVE IT!!! :)

anyone else in Kings Bay, GA?? that's where we got orders for February 22nd - we move March 10th. :D

Comment by SubWife2010 on March 1, 2011 at 1:56pm: SO my husband and I almost recieved orders today! TPU guys got in trouble some of them failed inspections and didnt show up to watch on time! so the master chief was yalling and said I had a meeting with the detailer about making orders for a list of 10 guys (Including my husband) but I cant do that now because I have to deal with you guys that screwed up. (My husband didnt get in trouble but this is the guys on hold at BESS) SOme were put back to white card and got in some trouble! Hoping he will talk and get our orders to us from the detailer tomorrow?? we shall see!

Comment by Lauren - Sub Wife - Bangor, Wash on February 28, 2011 at 9:42am: Lindsay(Jesse's Girl) -

We have orders to Bangor as well and will move in one month. My husband is already there. We wanted to go with on-base housing but decided to find a place off-base after finding out more. I can give you the name and number of a great lady to talk to in the Fleet and Family Dept. We have also done a ton of research and spoke to friends and family that know the area as well. We decided to live in Poulsbo, WA about 20 min away from base. I also started a discussion for Bangor, WA wives, perhaps we could do the ?/answer thing there

: ) . So happy someone else on here will be in WA!!!

Comment by Lindsay (Jesse's Girl) on February 27, 2011 at 4:08pm: hi everyone ;) my submariner just got orders to bangor, wa. can anyone offer advice on the housing? we only have about a month before we have to move and just received orders. yikes...that's the navy for you!!!

Comment by SubWife2010 on February 21, 2011 at 9:43pm: Graduation is this week! now if only they would give us our First duty station orders!

Comment by takemewithy0u (USS Hartford 768) on February 21, 2011 at 10:54am: Is anyone else's children driving them crazy while their husbands are gone? I think I may lose it!

Comment by mmaya1109 on February 20, 2011 at 8:54pm: hey all :) im soon to be sub wife and still have so many questions about how things are going to be...... my sailor is about to go to sub school in acouple of weeks and very worried at the same time......

Comment by luvinmatt on February 18, 2011 at 6:38pm: Maybe not. After BESS they gave DH orders to the rest of his schooling and we were able to use those to move as long as the schools are long enough.
