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."

Spouse leave in 3 weeks for Navy boot camp
Hello all
I know I am not a mom I am a spouse and well I dont know really where to go as my spouse and I talked for 3 weeks and finally said it was ok for him to join the Navy. I am scared and excited at the same time. I have been told there is a good chance that we will be based in Norfolk. My biggest thing to get over is me quieting my job. As i have been the sole money maker being a Police officer for 13 years giving up my job for my spouses dream is a big deal. I dont know if I will find work or if I want to find work right away. We have a 3 year old and I just want to make sure I am there for her as much as I can be in the beginning. Any advice?

Hi Michael. I'm not the spouse of a Sailor, so I won't presume to be a source of advice on that score, but I can say that all new Recruits and their families can use all the support that they can give each other. You are all in for a wild roller coaster ride. Hang tight.
For advice and support from other wives, there is a discussion group here called Girlfriends, Fiances,and Wives of Sailors. Good luck.

I'm sorry you didn't appreciate the reply. Did you even check your My Page to see what info I left for you?
I just went back and put in the group for the right month since I mistakenly gave you the link for February instead of March.
