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."

MIMI and others- My Uncle is a Retired Navy Captain and now a realtor in VA Beach. If any military service member needs help finding a rental or house, etc. let me know and I can email you his contact information. He is very trust worthy.

MIMI my son found his car on craigslist. He doesnt know enough about cars to not get ripped off. So when he came home my husband checked it out. It is a flood car. The whole engine was corroded and his brakes gave out while he was driving shortly after. Buyer Beware
