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."

Yeah it is nuts for sure! But I am glad my program is intense and keeps me busy or I would just not know what to do with myself and probably just cry all the time hahaha! I hope you figure out the school situation I know that can be hardcore. Thanks so much! I'll be there in April for sure for the homecoming :-) Maybe I ill get to see you then. Let me know if you need anything at all, even if it is just to vent. We all need to do that sometimes.

My husband told me today that the Captain made an announcement that their orders were to stay in Haiti for 30 days and that 30 days will be up on Feb. 14th. He also said that they should leave that day and they will be on time for the April 9-11 weekend. He said they are on schedule for that weekend still. GREAT NEWS!!!! I hope hope hope they don't go and change it. :-) Only 72 more days til the 9th! We can do it.

Hey :)
Welcome future wife of a sailor on the Vinson haha. My husband is on the Vinson too and I am missing him so much I made this thread a few weeks ago to try and get to know more people! I am actually from Southern California so we moved me back to CA to be with family while my husband is out at sea so when you come down if you need help in the area let me know and I should be able to help you out :)
I can not wait until they pull in, it really feels like its going by SO SLOW but they will be here soon enough :)
Anyways if you need to talk or anything just let me know, I understand how it goes missing your man! -
