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."

Hi samanthaRae,I have a million questions! Lol. First, what is this #thing everyone is talking about?--ppl have said "my sailor is going to 3" or "5" or whatever-in regards to new duty station after decommission I think??? How will my husband get that info?  Also, where are u living?--we have been told to try to live in base housing in camerillo(sp?)And then do u feel supported out there while he is deployed? We r in a very tough situation---we have a 6, 2.5 and 11month old and I am very ill. (I have Lyme disease w co infections, POTSyndrome and adrenal fatigue along w vit/min deficiencies---all of which were only finally diagnosed recently---while my husband was a boot camp actually! Ugh. I am struggling to care for our young family while undergoing treatment and not having my husband here. I need to do IV meds(w a picc line in my chest! Yikes!) and we have been putting it off thinking I could begin when we got to our first real duty station and were together. But now he is deploying(we don't even know how long) and I am not sure how I will just manage the day to day, never mind IV treatments!). Even if I was healthy I'd still feel very overwhelmed right now. I know nothing about the navy. I know they have classes to help prepare u for your spouses deployment, what to do to prepare, how to cope, what resources are avail, what to expect, etc... But I am not there to go to any classes. I know I need a POA---that is the only thing someone has told me. Otherwise I am clueless. Sounds like ur husband is already deployed?--where to? (I understand they r all going to diff place rt?). Do u have children?  Where r u from orig? How long have u been in PH and how long has ur husband been in the navy? What is his rate? My husband is ISSoooo anything u can tell me about this 40 group thing :) would be great and ESP anything I should know about deployment and info about decommissioning and port H in general. Thanks so much for taking the time to reach out---I really appreciate it!Devon
