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."

My degree is in Recreation & Leisure Services, and I work in a hotel downtown in the Gaslamp.

That's great you'll be here for the next few years.... I know we're here until t least April and then after that I don't know! It's a little stressful because I finally found this job that I LOVE and we are having a lot of fun in San Diego so I'm just keeping my fingers crosses!!

You know, since you'll be here for a few more years I think it would be okay to get a pet. You still have time before you'll be moving and it's not that hard to move with pets these days! It really is great to have Kelly around when my husband is gone! Are you on Facebook? There's a group on there for navy wives without kids.... They plan all kinds of get togethers and girls nights and stuff and they're a fun group of girls!

He's been here since November for A school and is now in C school. He's set to graduate next April but we'll see if that actually happens! We'd love to stay here and are keeping our fingers crossed that since I'm already out here they'll let us stay! How long do you have left here?

Work and school full time is a lot of work! But so rewarding once you finish. I graduated a semester early and worked all through school also full time!

I work full time, downtown, and I love it! That's another reason I hope we stay :) although I do miss staying home with our puppy!

Mine's a Sonar Tech (STG). He's here for school for now but hopefully we'll get stationed here as well! So do you go to school or work out here?

Hi! Always great to meet other Navy wives in San Diego! What's your husband's rate?

Good luck to you and yours as you go thru the stages of his training and then out into the fleet.

Thee's alsoa group snipe moms (engineers) that seems to have more responses on.  Yes DC is damage control.  My daughter has been in the navy 3 years and has been in Japan since April 2009.  Yes,it is true from what I have read and what has been posted that you would not be able to go with him to Japan if he is not an E-4, so for your sake, pray he gets his first assignment in the US.

Welcome to Snipe Moms - what rate is your boyfriend?  Is he already one with his A school?  My daughter is a DC and is over in Japan.
