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."

Comment by Alex's Girl on June 11, 2014 at 9:12pm: Hi all- my boyfriend just reported to OCS this past Sunday, June 8th. I was reading a comment about Nuke School in Charleston- can part of it actually be in NY? Thanks ladies

Comment by FeaEmJ on June 4, 2014 at 7:51am: Hi, just joined. Husband is currently qualifying for EDO. He's on his last leg of the training period where he's deployed on a Sub. Hoping after everything is done this will be our one and only deployment, save for occasional trail runs. We have been geographically separated for over a year now, but come July we will be reunited in Maine. He's PCSing to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery.

Comment by alycat3 on November 12, 2013 at 12:15am: Hey there!
So, I am a girlfriend and my officer is about to be in Japan for 18 months. He and I have started talking about me moving out there with him if we can find me a job. Have any of your had experience trying to find work abroad? I feel like I've heard of spouses being able to get civilian gigs on base but I have a feeling that as a girlfriend, my chances of that working out are pretty slim.
Any advice or thoughts are welome. Feel free to just private message me.
Cheers,
Aly

Comment by Sweet*Southern*Lady on June 1, 2013 at 2:58am: Well my husband didn't go through OCS, because he was in the STA-21 program. But its kinda like Boot camp (aka Basic Training) for Officers. I wouldn't expect many phone calls during the time. But you should be allowed to send letters. The time period apart is really training your relationship for a deployment. So that's not so bad consider it a learning experience.

Comment by jenny88 on May 30, 2013 at 12:20pm: Hi, thanks for the welcome! My husband is about to start OCS for supply corps in June and I'm in occupational therapy school out in san diego. Any words of advice or helpful comments about OCS or supply school are much appreciated! :)
