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 everyone!
First time joining and asking on this group.
My husband got his first order and moved here like a month ago. And Bc he is married that’s y he will have to live off base soon. Is anybody know where he can go look for a room to share? (I can’t move with him now, and we still have a mortgage bill to pay, it’s hard if he have to rent a whole apartment)
Thank you in advance

Hello Rain. Welcome to this group!
I would like to let you know that my husband and I invite the Sailors over to our home on the weekends, whatever base they are at. We would love to invite your son over when he gets here also. Please check out our page on this site to see the things we do together.
