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."

Profile Information
- A little about me:
- My name is Kristie and I am the wife of an ET (currently in ATT) with 2 babies (our first) on the way! I moved up to Great Lakes right before he graduated boot camp and I am so glad I did. The life of a military wife is unlike any other. You may not get to see them everyday, or get to sleep in the same bed every night, or know what his schedule is going to be until 5 minutes ahead of time, but knowing you are committed and willing to sacrifice for each others future makes every moment special. He hopes that the Navy will guide his future and help him meet his goals in life, and I'm here to support & encourage him every step of the way!

If you don't have too many expectations, or get too disappointed when things change (which they WILL, CONSTANTLY) and realize that every sailor has a different experience, you will have a fulfilling relationship with the navy and your spouse. Look at all the positives-don't dwell on the negative!

- It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

Your husband sounds like he's well prepared for doing a good job in the Navy. As his wife (as I am a mom) your biggest job is to support him by encouraging, listening and utilizing as much of the miitary benefits as you can. In my experience recruiters do not have all the answers. You may learn more from your counterparts also.
