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."

Anyone doing anything this weekend? I know my husband and I are going to see Paranormal Activity 3 at 8pm tonight with some of his friends from C School if anyone wants to join. I havent met any of them yet but its a start..
Also I definitly think that anyone who is here should get together this coming week and get coffee or something. There is a couple little restaurant/cafes around that we could go to. Let me know who is interested and I will look around and think of some options!

We had to pay like $200 or something the day we moved in and then our first months rent is Nov 1st and we moved in October 10th. But we did not have to pay first and last months rent. And our first utilities bill isnt due until Dec 1st.

So you didn't have to pay a deposit and first and last months rent and all that?

When we found out we were moving here, we decided that we didnt want to have to deal with housing or a waitlist, or going through the navy for a home. I just went to bing.com and looked up apartments/houses for rent in Kings Bay, GA and i found a whole mess of apartment and housing offices that either emailed or called me within in a few days and the places were move in ready. I know with Brant Creek, they called that same day and said we could move in the following day if we wanted. We just had to fill out a simple application and get approved, and with the Navy as your main source of income there wasnt really any question about the approval.

Oh okay. I was just wanting to know if they have like apartments in base housing, or actual houses. I looked online and it looked like apartments. I'm so confused. I need a blog...

Britany - yes I live off base!
Janel - we had to turn our air on too haha! I will let you know what I do about the gym tonight, we have a mini gym thing at our apartment complex with a treadmill bike elliptical and like 4 basic machines so idk if i am just going to stay here or not quite yet!

The weather here is amazing today, we even had to shut the windows and turn the air on because it was so warm last night...us northeast ppl have problems with heat lol.
Britany: we live in an apartment just down the road from base.. base is nice there just is not a whole lot there. Some bases have a lot of shopping and things to do, Kings bay just doesnt really. Good thing the gym is nice.
Sara: Good luck on your interview. Im still going to the gym tonight around 630 just not going to spin class. But the target is in yulee. Its almost by ferdindina beach which is about 20 mins away

I love the weather there. I looked up the average weather and it seems to be nice all year... I just want to go to the beach and read a book. I can't seem to finish packing, I'm leaving in a matter of days and I'm not even halfway finished. I'm terrible. I want to hit the gym as soon as I get to kingsbay. I need to build up my energy. I'm a home body too, I like to sit in my yard and sew and cook.... Haha don't I sound like a house wife.... I want to work. I'm a family person, and I love having friends over. I just wish we could all just be there and be settled.
Sara: you live off base don't you?
Janel: don't you like on base? And do you have a house, or an apartnent?
