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."

I hope to meet you soon ⚓️
We are in Burlington county. Not too far from you I guess about 45 min.
I would have missed that too!
Where in NJ?
We are in Central Jersey - Monroe
Where are you?
Can’t believe I asked that question when your profile is NJNavyMom.... sorry. We also live in NJ
We are in NJ. You?
NJNavyMom - I guess that’s where I’ll be spending my summer lol. Do you have any other relative in the Navy? Do you live North or South from VA. We are North.
Welcome from another East Coast Mom
I don't know anything about the barracks, but the Virginia Beach area is fantastic!
Hello! My son will be station at Little Creek VA for 3 years. We are a brand new Navy family. Just by reading some comments I am a little concern about the conditions of the barracks. However, giving my son a heads up will surely made me feel better. We live in the East Coast so just having our son at a driving distance is a blessing. Have a great day everyone!
For any of you moms who have a sailor(especially in the barracks or on a ship), my husband and I invite sailors into our home on the weekends to give them a place to hang out in a family atmosphere. We feed them, play board games, go to special events in the area, invite them over for the holidays if they can't go home. Check out our page on this site to find out more about us. Let us know if we can reach out to them or they to us. We can pm you our cell number. :)
