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."

The Navy Lodge Norfolk is located near Naval Station Norfolk's Gate 5 at

7811 Hampton Boulevard  Norfolk, VA 23505

Website:  Navy Lodge Norfolk reservations and information

You can make the reservation yourself by providing both your name and the name, rate and rating of the sailor who will check you in (called your "sponsor.")  If you are there for a homecoming, you can check in without your sponsor, but he/she has to check you in within 24 hours.  Otherwise your sailor must be present at check-in and show military ID.

Others nearby:  Navy Lodge Little Creek:  757-464-0215; Navy Lodge NAS Oceana:  757-437-8100

On a recent stay at Navy Lodge Norfolk I took these photos for us.  It's quite close to Gate 5 that leads into the base, so it's close to the ships and piers.  You need photo ID and a sponsor with military ID to enter the base, except for homecomings and your Ombudsman will have that info.

The Norfolk Navy Lodge was renovated in 2010.  It has 292 rooms in two wings (single, double, handicap-equipped, and eight suites), and features a coffee bar & TV area in the lobby, a small outdoor playground area, fitness room, business center, laundry, and a convenience mart that sells staples plus books, souvenirs and even liquor.   

Rooms have kitchenettes, TV with DVD player, and free wi-fi.  The lobby and rooms are lovely; I was impressed!    

RATES:  Single (one queen bed, fridge & microwave) $68; double (two queen beds, kitchen.with full refrigerator, stove/oven, & microwave) $76; family suite (bedroom with two queen beds & tv, living room with pull-out sofa & tv, and kitchen) $97.  No tax is charged.  

There is a free continental breakfast in the lobby 6 am - 9 am, with cereals, muffins, croissants, yogurt, fruit, juice, milk, coffee and tea.

They allow up to two pets.  Each pet's maximum weight allowed is 50 lbs; must present proof of vaccinations; and if there are noise complaints, you have to make other arrangements.

There are several gas stations and fast-food places close by.

The nearest non-Navy motels are the Hampton Inn and the Quality Inn, also on Hampton Blvd between Navy Lodge and Gate 5.  Hampton Inn:  8501 Hampton Blvd, phone (757) 489-1000  Website Hampton Inn - near Norfolk Naval Base
