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."

You'll get a form that he'll send you from boot camp, usually in the last half or later. It has instructions on it for obtaining an ID. You can get it from any place that issues ID's, doesn't have to be navy. You can even make an appointment online (recommended since they can be busy). The form should tell you everything you need to know on how to do it.

My husband is also in Boot Camp right now and I got mine done last week. My husband didn't send me any info about it. I talked to his reciter and he helped me get in touch with the ID facility near me. You can look it up online. NOT EVERY FACILITY DOES NAVY ID'S. I didn't know that and I accidentally went to an Army one and I got turned away. When you go bring your marriage certificate, his social security # (not card just #) and your drivers license or passport.

Not true, any card facility can do any ID. I don't know why you got turned away, but you can go to any card issuance facility. They service all branches because they have people from all branches at most bases at any given time. The IDs are basically the same anyway except that it lists your branch. I got mine done at an Army base with no difficulty.
You must have either the form 1172 sent from your husband at boot camp, a power of attorney, or your husband physically with you.
Look at this link to find the nearest card issuance facility near you: https://rapids-appointments.dmdc.osd.mil/%28S%2805n5pqao5euc01oaodj...
