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."

Comment by SumiK0125 (wife of a Nuke MM) on July 13, 2010 at 8:50pm: Hi girls! I'm in the neighborhood now... house is super empty! And I'm ready to get out and meet some people!! Message me on facebook!!

Comment by Maggie on July 13, 2010 at 4:03pm: I know I'd like to be part of a lunch date! I haven't really met many of the wives here. It'd be nice to make some friends :)

Comment by Nicole loves Sean (EM-N (SS)) on July 12, 2010 at 9:33pm: thanks casey! Doors are already opening for him ( sort of). He was the first (and only) one in his class to get approved for group study hours and permission to volunteer around base etc. there was also talk of promoting him to assistant class leader. hopefully i will find out more tonight, and definitely this weekend. :)

Comment by amanda on July 12, 2010 at 7:29pm: The Comfort Inn in North Charleston is absolutely amazing. It's a little pricey directly but if you group it with a flight it's pretty reasonable.

Comment by Kathy on July 12, 2010 at 6:14pm: momof5--have you checked Days Inn or Quality Inn on Redbank Rd? They are the closest to base. If you're lucky, the Foster Creek Villas (on base)...next two closest: Holiday Inn & Wingate in N. Charleston (about 4-5 miles from base)

Comment by Nicole loves Sean (EM-N (SS)) on July 12, 2010 at 3:33pm: not a problem, sounds like quite a few of us will be down in charleston this weekend visiting our favorite sailors! I fly down from JFK on Friday and stay until Sunday. We will be celebrating him making phase 3 and kicking butt in his division (currently at the top of his class by a significant amount) so proud of him <3

Comment by momof5 (Ship 04 Div 192) on July 12, 2010 at 9:29am: Nicole, thanks will do... can't wait to get down there and hug my son...

Comment by Nicole loves Sean (EM-N (SS)) on July 12, 2010 at 7:24am: momof5- go onto priceline.com/hotels.com/etc... they will have the best rates for you for a last minute booking. you may nit find one near the base... but at least you can find a place to put your head down.

Comment by momof5 (Ship 04 Div 192) on July 12, 2010 at 6:48am: Hi all, we are leaving on Thursday to go down to see our son in S. Carolina. We're having difficulty finding a hotel. Any suggestions, every one is booked. Not going to stop us from going anyway...

Comment by Emily-aaronsgirl11 on July 11, 2010 at 8:15pm: I must say, right now I'm considering just packing a bag, getting in my car, and driving 12 hours to Charleston. It's only been a week, and I'm so ready to have my sailor back. This being lonely thing isn't very much fun :( We're both ready to start our future together... if only the future would hurry up! On the bright side there's only 7 months and 16 days until I turn 18, and I don't have to follow my mom's rules on when (and how) I see my sailor. :)
