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."

Hello Ladies,
I have been an AF reservist wife for 27 years. We just finished our second deployment (Qatar once and this time Iraq) so I know a little bit about what you are feeling. I WAS able to communicate with him...but had to wait until he called...could not call him. Sent tons of boxes, cards and letters!
Our son went through BC while my husband was gone and I will tell you that "No communication" was hard. BUT now we talk every day! Just a few more weeks...in the meantime you are doing the best thing by supporting each other. You, and others like you, are the ONLY ones who truly understand what you are going through. Others may sympathize but cannot empathize.
Bravo Zulu and carry on!
Here is a link to a newer group started by a young lady from my PIR group (05/26/2011), "Advice for new spouses". She said I could "pass it on"!

Thanks so much for the information!!! You're absolutely right, the support between us ladies it vital... only we understand. I often times finding myself holding back irritation with some people because they say all the wrong things when they try to comfort me... but I know they can't help it, they just don't know what it's like. I am grateful for N4M and these ladies that I'm getting to know. You guys are a blessing! <3
