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."

It's actually a Marine base but my son is in the Navy and is stationed along with a lot of others that make up Navy forces. And I would love to hear information from others about the area, or others that have family or friends stationed there.

Trythe Navyformoms group: HAWAII too, I posted the link, Heather It's very active here and 1 or 2 live right on Oahu. We've had many discussions about housing there. (my son is at Kaneohe but I don't live on the island, so i can't help much about housing) This group can be quiet sometimes...so you can check out 'hawaii" too!
