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."

Congratulations!!! I live in San Diego, off base. We live in La Mirage apartments in Mission Valley.... We LOVE them! The rent is under BAH and even though you have to pay separately for water, gas & electric, it's still under BAH. Mission Valley is very central and most importantly I feel very safe even when my husband is gone! Please feel free to message me if you have any questions!

Congratulations! My husband and I did a quick courthouse run while he was in A school and got all the paperwork taken care of while I was down there those couple of days. We had a ceremony when he came home and now he is gone for a while! Since May, I have seen him about 3 weeks total.
Best wishes with you two. We are newly weds too and he's in a different time zone. :/ But Homecoming will be oh so sweet! One thing that my hubs stressed is to make sure you have a military clause in any lease you sign. Your husband's orders might change and you have to move quickly. Protect yourself! Keep copies of everything! and memorize his SSN.
