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."

Hi :). I'd love to hear what you've got to say :). I think I'm pulling all the ends together, and it looks like I may be able to move within the month. That is all up to whether or not I'm able to find a good deal on an apartment and a job...

Hi Jess, wanted to welcome you to the AECF group. You have some adorable photos! So is it your boyfriend heading into AECF? It is a great program with lots of schooling on the front end, he can expect 1.5 to two years of school before he reports to the fleet. First year in GL and then he will be moved to another state for C school. Location and length to be determined at the end of A school. He will be either an ET or an FC when he graduates from A school, both are great rates. We do have a wives club thread within the group with lots of information for families, especially if they are looking at moving to GL during school. You will find our group to be active and supportive - stop in often!

Thanks it is getting better yesterday his RDC actually allowed him to call me. It was so nice to hear from him. I missed him his voice so much. It was just so wonderful. And he told me he's missing me everyday and it was just a relief in a way I feel connected because I know that at any given moment when I'm thinking of him he's thinking of and missing me too.
