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."

KLP - my son is in the Navy down in San Diego and is a Gunners Mate Instructor. If you would like, I can share with you his phone number and you can call him to get ideas of where to live and where not to live. Just send me a message in my message box and I'll give further instruction. They live off base in a 2 bedroom apartment that is really nice.

It definately won...our first flight missed getting out by about 3 hours. Since then it has been one cancellation after another. Actually our last cancelation would have been leaving now. It could be worse...at least we are in our hotel. It is really cold today though...no flip flops or birkenstocks today.
