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."

A lot of the military facilites are super nice, and very much under-used.

 

Always have a military clause in your venue contract, in case the Navy plays games with your plans.  Never deposit money you can't get a refund on.  Ever.

I'm getting married on June 4th at the Commissioned Officer's Club in Newport, RI. I had such a hard time finding locations, and everywhere that I looked, I just hated. But, my fiance's father had mentioned the Officer's Club and when I looked at it, I loved it immediently.
