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."

Good afternoon everyone!  My fiance is leaving for boot camp the beginning of June, and trying to plan a wedding with all the "what ifs" has been quite the challenge.  Great to know that there are others out there that I can connect with that are facing the same challenges!  Looking forward to getting to know everyone in the group.  :-)

Less than 3 months!!! 2 months, 25 days, 20 hours and 58 mins to be exact! Got my purple shoes in the mail! My dress is being altered, my peacock garter is being created. not much else is going on. Still searching for a purple peacock post reception bar crawl dress but i'm not sure if i'll find one in my price range.
