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."

That makes a lot of sense to me too. Our wedding is June 5th so I think dress whites are the winner. Thanks for the input!

Haha, ya that's true. We don't know many officers yet though unless he makes several new friends at OCS. Good to think about though.

Dress blues are authorized anytime of the year. It is the only uniform authorized no matter time or location. Not sure about the regs for the new working uniforms.

the new working uniforms are all year also. It's nice not to have to change every 6 months!

As far as getting from the airport to base if you aren't going to rent a car you can take the cozy cab shuttle. It is $25 per person each way but compared to a 80 dollar cab it isn't too bad. They leave from the airport every hour and it is about a 30 minute ride to newport then you can take a cab to base which is only about 6 dollars. You can google cozy cab newport for the website.

If things go as in the past they won't be getting any mail for awhile later in week two or into week three. Keep sending the letters though as when they do get mail it is like Christmas and they are so thrilled!

No call :( I was working hard to not get my hopes up though, so I think that helped!

Ahhh! YES! It was soooo long. Today seemed like a really long day, but I am hoping this week will be better. Maybe they will get their mail soon!!
