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 katofmt on March 20, 2011 at 12:15pm: USS West Virginia in Portsmouth, VA. I've read it's supposed to be there until approx the end of 2012, then back to its homeport in Kings Bay (from some articles at navy.mil).

Anyone stationed in the area? Do you have housing suggestions for Portsmouth? It's such a big area with a lot of different neighborhoods, I'm not sure where to start.

Comment by katofmt on March 19, 2011 at 4:24pm: My husband just got his orders, but won't be heading to GA as planned. The submarine is in dry dock for refitting and refueling. What does that mean for underways and a sailor's work schedule? Will he have to do a tour on another submarine to get his quals? Or is this a blessing and I'll have him home a little longer?
