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."

Information
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.

He will be with VP 9. He is a AM. I am excited for him as I grew up in Hawaii and miss it greatly. I am hoping he makes friends out there. Continue

Thank you so very much for your advice. I made a few phone calls to the base and i now know Ryan is in MALS 24, @ Marine Corps Air Station. I still dont know his exact ubit number but I am getting closer. Was added to the e mail list and already got an e mail :) I keep calling him the family liason? but he also gave me my sons e mail address which i did not have before. You ladies are awesome, thank you again for helping THIS mom feel a little closer to her son :)

http://www.mcbh.usmc.mil/ (the base website)
Be sure to contact his unit's (squadron? team?) ombudsman and get on their email list for newsletters, happenings, local fundraisers, deployment info and photos. Find their team website (example: my son's squadron is the Golden Swordsmen) and their website lists the ombudsman as a contact for families. Those two gals (Navy wives) are very helpful and welcoming to me. We get a newsletter once a month.
Also: K bay marine base hosts a huge marathon run right out on the runways, once or twice a year...my son participates and its great fun. Also they are the host of the Blue Angels, so lots of excitement there too. here's a picture of the run- my son in red shirt # 315

terrible terrible tragedy occurred today just off K-Bay...Marine Helo went down and 3 survived, one was killed. My son's plane was diverted to Honolulu at the time, as the area and runways were unusable.
So sad....blessings to the Marine and his family.
