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."

Gabby if you can use her car while she is at work then you would not need one. But if you can't you may want one. Jax is a very large city now. I have still not seen a bunch of Jacksonville. We have been here since feb.

Navymom3...you r so sweet to offer....really appreciate it...she is gonna check the Lodge out when she gets back from leave....so guess will wait til then to find some things out...still trying to decide whether I need to rent a car, as she has one on base, but will be in class by then and not sure of her hours...really looking forward to spending time with her in JAX...visited there once when I was 12....don't remember much since that was quite some time ago...lol. But can't wait to see everything JAX has to offer!

Never stayed at the Navy lodge in Jax as that is where I live. If it's not up to par you can always come use my kitchen while she is at work.

Hey dunesmom- both of my sailors are home. My older sailor lives here and my middle sailor is home on leave before he heads to Japan. Things are going good. Middle sailor is making homemade pizza tonight for dinner. The older sailor is whinning why don't you make something normal. He made curry the other night and the family didn't like it. But him and I did. I don't know where the middle son got his taste buds in liking to try new stuff.

Good deal. Now I hope that she can find her way around for 2 weeks without it. I plan on driving it to her mid January.
