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."

On the Thanksgiving/Christmas question: My "guess" is that for Thanksgiving, they would only have liberty from A School and would have to stay within 50miles....again, only a guess. Christmas, I know of ones who are currently in GL A School who are going home for some of the Christmas holidays. So maybe they will get "leave" for that? Unfortunately, you will have to wait until your new sailor gets to A School and he will be advised of all of that...but it won't be long now!

I don't know why I haven't either. You're not the only one with mood swings!! i was doing so good about not crying.. this weekend that went out the window!! I've been really sensitive to things. My towel rack came off in the bathroom and I lost it, normally he's just here to say.. babe go sit down I'll take care of it..lol! I hear a song on the radio and it makes me miss him even more. I guess we just have to take it day by day or on days like these.. hour by hour. I pray I get a letter this week, I need something to boost me back up!!

Oh my goodness.. thats music to my ears!! I'm craving a letter from him in the worst way!! I hope he does a good job keeping them in line.. I'm sure he will do a great job! Mine listens pretty good (to me anyways).. so he shouldn't be a problem..lol. I'm going to book this week. We are having so many problems with his family, its so unreal.. they don't want to go to his PIR.. my heart breaks for him.. so I'm going to load up my family and go.. they can see him when he's on liberty. When do we find out if they are grad and go? I highly doubt mine will be, but as im finding out with the navy.. nothing is set in stone!! Hope you're having a great weekend!

Forgive me, but my navy lingo is horrific..lol.. whats the MA? I'm doing pretty good, each day is different. Today was hard, we have sick children, and I missed his help soo much!! I was so excited to get the PIR letter yesterday.. those 3 sentences meant the world!! How are you holding up? PIR will be here before we know it!!! I've heard from other wives that we should expect a letter next week hopefully, have you heard that? Also, have you booked a room yet.. I'm wondering how soon I should do that! Have a great night!!
