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."

Hi Guam Moms,

my son will be over in Guam in the next few days How did you ever get used to the huge time difference. I am in Oklahoma its 16 hours difference.
Comment by LivNLrn on April 4, 2010 at 6:22pm
Sue, I am sorry you are going through a tough transition. If your son is committed to communication you will be surprised how easy it is to talk to each other. I live here on Guam and email/ call/ web chat with friends and family almost daily. The only thing that ever gets in our way is our schedule. Assuming he is coming to Guam Naval Base: If he does not order the internet/ phone and cable package available from MVC or GTA, he will still have free internet access at the Single Sailors Lounge and the Library on base. You could send him a Magic Jack and he can purchase a basic phone to hook up to his laptop or computer to talk to you for free. You can set it up so his Magic Jack has your area code and it will be free to call each other. A Magic Jack is so small you could send it in the smallest/ cheapest USPS Priority package! My mother and best friend, who are not very computer savvy, have both set up yahoo messaging on their computers and we get to see each other on webcam! I used it to walk them around our new home on base and show them the front and back yards, etc. I got to see my friends' newborn baby! Instant messaging is free. Everyone back home is coping better than expected! With all this convenience today we are more blessed than past Military families have had it with snail mail! Your son will hopefully enjoy Guam and his new experience as much as we do.

Wooo-hooo!!!! I look forward to welcoming you to the rock! I think you will like it very much! Feel free to message me if I can help with anything.

Hi Britt, we are on Guam and my husband is on the Cable. My situation is a little different. He came in Sept last year and I flew here in January to marry him. All is well. He is E3. You may have a fair chance, as marriage housing doesn't seem to be terribly tight here. They may need to replace some of those who are departing. Best of luck to you!

Oh Nancy- and before he leaves buy him a MagicJack!!! He will be able to have a local area code from home and you can call each other for FREE!!!!
Comment by LivNLrn on March 5, 2010 at 8:42pm
Hi Nancy! My husband lived off his laptop, mp3, and Xbox when he arrived. Got a cell phone and car here. We skyped/yahoo'd/oovoo'd and every other type of webcam messenger to keep in touch for free. We are having a great experience here. The key is not to rely on just drinking and clubs to have a social life here. There are those who are lonely/ depressed who just "party" or recluses who don't get out and enjoy the beauty of the island at all. I was surprised there are several shopping malls and movie theatres, a small "city" of Tumong with shopping and restaurants (DH took me there for Valentine's Day), villages with flea markets, amazing beaches, hiking and scuba diving. It really is what you make of it. I wish him a safe trip!

Just heard about this site - it is awesome to find Mom's of the USS Buffalo! What a great idea! My son has been there since October, what a time difference from the east coast!
