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."

JRB, My son has been there a little over a month, He says its okay, like almost everyone on here says, not a lot to do, unless you drive about an hour away, I on the other hand look at it as a good thing, lol, Anyway, i hope he enjoys it. What's your son's rate? Mine's an MAA.

Thank you & Happy Thanksgiving to you, too! As of yesterday, it looks like they might be able to get him home in time for Thanksgiving! We will have to see how the weather & airlines are willing to cooperate! Safe travels to all!!!

Hi, My husband and I just moved her about a month ago, we live in the new housing on base and love it. I'm eager to meet some new friends, but I'm kinda shy so I thought this would be the easiest way :)
