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."

People are like that every where you go! I guess its just what you make of it. All I'm worried about is finding a good job lol. My husband is still in CT for a few months so we aren't sure what boat yet. I hope we get to GA soon. I'm ready to get settled with him.

i'm not sure i dont think its different for each state but i could be wrong. we are located in colorado. where are you guys located? i got mixed answers also from my husbands recruiters so when my husband had his meeting with his recruters supervisor i went with my husband and i asked him about bha and he said i would definently get it. your husband should have filled out paper work that listed you as a dependent so you should definently get the bha for your state.

HI,
i read your posting on Dep- leaving in september and like you my husband is also leaving sept. 8th and i am also moving back in with my mom while he is in bootcamp and a-school from my understanding from my husbands recruiter is that we will recieve BHA while our husbands are in bootcamp and A - school. and he told me anyone going to bootcamp w/dependents get bha and those who don't have dependents don't get bha. my husband has a meeting on monday with the head person in charge at his recruiting office so i will have him ask her about bha and get back to you with her answer. i hope this helps if you have any questions or just want to talk you can message me anytime. -erica
