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."

Comment by Tiffany51908 on May 1, 2012 at 6:37pm: Magoodwin- Thank you! I keep hearing great things about it! My fiance ended up deploying before even checking in WA (just my luck) So i am staying home till he gets back but i'm ready to move already and start my life. I'm very excited!!

Comment by magoodwin on April 2, 2012 at 2:08pm: Tiffany, i think you'll like it here. Its beautiful! Just leave jewelry magazines open around him thats what i did haha..

Keisha, How are you? So sorry i haven't been in touch i got a new phone so i don't have you number anymore. I wanted to ask if you knew of any jobs in Oak Harbor?? Aslo i wanted to talk to you about the nursing program at skagit valley im thinking about starting that! Text me :)

Comment by nolaj on March 2, 2012 at 8:51pm: Wow, Keisha this site really hasn't had any action for quite some time. How was your move to on base? Is your husband still deployed?

Comment by Carrie1014 on November 4, 2011 at 1:12am: Ok, well we have to actually get the house before we move because this is our first duty station, so I'll tell him to call and give him a list of what I want. We are in the process of trying to get a POA ASAP because we will have about a week from the time he gets home from A school to move before he's deployed.... It's going to be a nightmare. Thanks again!!! Time for bed

Comment by Carrie1014 on November 4, 2011 at 1:02am: Haha ok cool thank you so much for everything!! Can I contact the fleet and family or does my husband have to? He's still in A school so he never has time and I want to be sure it's done right, men mess everything up haha

Comment by Carrie1014 on November 4, 2011 at 12:52am: Awesome thank you!!! I already have their # will we be able to get a 3 or 4 bedroom? Excited to meet you :-) ill need some friends for sure!!

Comment by Carrie1014 on November 4, 2011 at 12:31am: Hey Keisha! We are moving out there in about 3 weeks, waiting on written orders, should be in tomorrow or early next week. Husband is deploying right away for 7 months. We are hoping for base housing, can you tell me anything about it? Do you have any idea what the wait times are like? We have a 14 month old so I'll feel more safe on base with my husband gone. Any info on base housing would be great! Thanks!

Comment by nolaj on October 30, 2011 at 5:36pm: Keisha, the weather there is different from everywhere ! : )

Comment by nolaj on October 6, 2011 at 9:10pm: Hey there, we are here and staying at the Navy Lodge. Took the ferry over to Port Townsend today. Not bad weather considering it could be raining. Figured we might leave here a couple days early and stay in Seattle, do some sightseeing, return our car and head to the airport by Tues. morning. Just not enough time but am thankful for whatever we get. ; )

Comment by Heather on October 6, 2011 at 5:56pm: How is military housing on whidbey? I have done a little research and I found that I might like victory park townhouses, what is the wait time like for those? Also crescent harbor seems nice but I'm concernec about getting an older home in that neighborhood and I would prefer the newer ones. What are the chances of that and the wait list?
