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."

Where abouts are you, and what do you enjoy doing? I moved to Bothell this time last year and stayed til Febuary this year. It was a bit challenging getting to know people...the "Seattle Freeze" does kinda exist! I ended up joining a local church, going to horse events (my work and my main hobby) and also joining lots of groups on Meetup.com.
Now I'm not a Navy wife-so these are all ideas kind of away from base, but still fun. Seattle is a beautiful and vibrant city-Pikes Place Market is amazing! The Cascade Mountains are stunning and the San Juan Islands are beautiful too.
And check out the little coffee sheds-waay better than Starbucks!
