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."

Hello there. I am a navy mom. Welcome to the site.
1. San Diego. It's a beautiful area. The weather is wonderful. The people typical California laid back. Don't bother to pack much - flip flops, tee shirts and jeans. Unless you want to go the mountains. CA is a big state - lots to see. Be sure you drive up the Coast Hwy 1 (phenomenal scenery), see yosemite, the desert, San Francisco Bay. If you want more hustle, you could venture to the Los Angeles area - do the touristy stuff, see the movie star houses. Interestingly enough more shows go first to Los Angeles before that they come up to the San Fran area (where I live).
2. Here is a group to join to connect with those w sailor on the USS Ronald Reagan

Here is a group for USS Ronald Reagan wives, fiancees but it's inactive. You could join it and send out a "group message" and perhaps it could be revived.

3. Here are a few groups geographically oriented.

4. Here are a couple of groups for wives.

Post a comment in the groups and inquire if anyone has a sailor on the Reagan or if they are stationed in San Diego. Good luck. Although I don't live there, I have many family members in the area and if you have a question, I will try and find the answer for you. On housing, another Navy wife would probably be more knowledgeable.
