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."

We use fb messenger. Works great and it's free. I am not sure what phone he has now and insurance he handles himself. I am sure the Navy has info on ins.
I would like to visit Guam, but it is so expensive. At least I would have lodging when I am there as my son rents a house.

nurserenee - Guam has phone company, ( I believe it's GTA ). My son has it and pays a little extra for the plan that allows him to call and text us. For insurance USAA is the best option. hope this helps.

Liz - my son is not an officer but he is a bachelor. Against our wishes, he bought a house in Guam. I believe he is now trying to convince a few other guys to rent a room from him. If you live off base, you get a sort of housing allowance. I believe housing is only going to get worse with the new marine base being built there. That might be good for my son's real estate investment... I don't know.

what do you all know about finding housing for a bachelor officer?
