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."

First Time
This is actually my first time with a support grp and I am so happy that I have found one. I have been married for 10 years and my hubby has been in the navy for 19 years. Go figure I waited a long time to find a grp lol. My hubby is a CWO in the navy and he is currently deployed for a year. Once he returns we will be moving to the Va area. Its hard because my friends cannot relate to how I feel and its hard express my feelings. They always say "oh its going to be ok" or "he will be home before you know" oh the famous line " I know how you feel" but really you don't. You don't know how it feels to be married to a man in the military. But again I am happy to be here and happy to be around a grp who knows exactly what I am going thru.
