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."

Civilian wedding- dress whites ????

Started this discussion. Last reply by Craig Mar 27, 2011. 12 Replies

So, my boyfriend is coming to a wedding I am in, and he wants to wear his uniform- since the wedding is in June it is dress whites season. Is this okay to wear white???

Profile Information

A little about me:
I am a grad student at Springfield College in a doctoral program for physical therapy, DPT. I am currently dating my high school sweetheart Nik, aka Miner, who is in the Navy. We graduated from high school in 2007. We are both 22, although I frequently tell him I am older (just by one month). Nik has been my best friend since high school, and I honestly cannot imagine my life without him. He is currently in prototype in NY which is only 2 hours from where I am. Although Nik and I have broken up several times since high school, we used the time alone, and with other people to see how much we truely care and value each other. Our friendship grew miles from being just friends and now that we are together again we have an amazing relationship. I know for sure that there is no one else I want to be with. Nik is my best friend and I love him with all my heart. There is no one else for me and I am so happy we have each other to deal with everything life will bring us from now on.
I am here to support my

Was proud and encouraged it
The Navy offers opportunities that...
Trust is everything. I really feel that Nik joining the Navy is the best thing that could have happened to him, and to us. He is so much more confident and motivated. He seems happier, and all I really want is him to be happy.

I'm sorry that you aren't able to go to your boyfriend's Power School Graduation, but don't beat yourself up about it.  You will both have some times of give and take as you go through life together.  The A School graduation is not as big a deal as PIR.  You have to do what is right for you and missing clinical exams would not be good for you or your future and your fella has to know that and should understand.  Take care and blessings to you and yours.

Yup, totally get the whole grad school, clinical work thing. I'm planning to go to grad school to be a counselor but it just luckily worked out that I'll be taking next year off to apply to grad schools and by then Jacob should know his carrier base so I'll (hopefully) be able to go to school a daily commute away from base. But I'll be moving to Sc in june though.

Will you be moving to SC?

AHHHH!! I JUST MADE THE CONNECTION!! :)

I was like oh! Why haven't I met you before? Then I realized that was Nik in the picture!! YAY!! I LOVE meeting girls that are in the same stage as me... I know another guy too... Amanda's boyfriend is in Section 1, and was in their A school class. :)

I'm so happy you found me! :)
