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 cheffiona on October 15, 2010 at 12:47pm: Navynana - thanks very much i used to live in Yorba Linda some 24 years ago anyway i was looking online for an apartment she wants to be near the base and when her husband goes to boot camp in fe her best friend is gonna move in with her so that she will not be alone but any info you could find out for me I would appreciate we may come down to San Diego when she is back here for 2 weeks leave before she goes to san diego so as to look at some apartments and maybe get one, but I told her she may just have to go to regular navy quarters until she can find something.

Thanks again

Comment by navynana on October 15, 2010 at 12:22pm: cheffiona- we live in Yorba Linda - 2 hours north of the base. He currently lives in a barracks across the street from the 32nd St. Base. He likes it there. It's a nice complex.They call it the "dry side" as opposed to the "wet side" which is where the ship is. TPU is there as well. They stay there when they first get to San Diego and check in. The area immediately surrounding the base is not all that great. I have no idea about accommodations for married couples, sorry.

Comment by cheffiona on October 14, 2010 at 11:00pm: we used to live in la mesa ca now living in nv i am currently looking for an apartment for her and her hubby there Navy nana is your grandson living on base my daughter wants me to look near imperial beach/chula vista near the 32nd street base I assume that is where she will need to be for uss comstock do you happen to live near those areas and could recommend somewhere safe although we lived in san diego for years we were also in the east county did not go to those areas that often.

Comment by navynana on October 14, 2010 at 10:33pm: My grandson is in San Diego and on the USS Comstock as we speak. I see that cheffiona your daughter is headed that way. We're in southern CA so we see him most of the weekends he's free. It's been great. We missed him so much when he was in GL. Anyone else on the USS Comstock?

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on October 14, 2010 at 3:11pm: Time to start thinking about the holidays, and mailings. The Naval Supply Systems Command's (NAVSUP) Postal Policy Division mail-by dates for pre-Dec. 25 delivery of holiday cards, letters and packages are here ~ NAVSUP pre-12:25:10 delivery mail-by dates.pdf

Comment by Anti M on October 14, 2010 at 12:21pm: Marriage and the Navy is a funny thing. It is good for them, except, well, except when it is not. I've had one bad Navy marriage, and this one has lasted 23 years. So one good, one bad. I've known as many happy couples as unhappy, and the tough ones stick it out and make it work. Best of luck to all the newlyweds!

Comment by cheffiona on October 13, 2010 at 10:23pm: her roomie got married last weekend and i know of a couple more its because of the paper work and its a lot easier to do it now before leaving a school and her new hubby is going to boot camp in feb but in the meantime he will got to san diego with her and they willl get an apartment off base as the waiting list for base housing is 12 months long.

Comment by cheffiona on October 12, 2010 at 9:41pm: Hey everyone, not sure if i am in the right place but my daughter just got her orders to San Diego USS Comstock and wanted to see if anyone here has sailors on that ship she still has to finish A school in GL but should be going to base in November. We are from San Diego originally so have friends and family in town we now live in Nevada i just wanted to find someone on same ship! She has to also put in for married quarters as she got married last month 18th sept after graduating pir 8/6/10 we have had a very busy few months

Comment by Dona on September 21, 2010 at 6:46pm: I have nothing against the Navy lodge as I have never stayed in one, but this time it had no vacancy-holiday weekend.

Comment by Anti M on September 20, 2010 at 10:30am: Personally, I don't like the Lodge because it is often full of families with small kids. Nothing wrong with that, but certainly not my thing.
