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 sunshine73 on July 25, 2011 at 10:48am: Sadly there isn't much to do around here. At the beach there are places for putt putt golf, a waterslide, bumper boats, and jet ski rentals in addition to all the typical beach/coastal stuff to do. I would be happy to meet up with you ladies:)

Chons Mom... where is your son now

Sunshine73... is Havelock the next town from Cherry Point or where the beach is?

Ok so what is there to do around there for a guy? Beach? Amusement parks? How far are they from Cherry Point?

Comment by sunshine73 on July 24, 2011 at 9:13pm: Cherry Point is the smaller Marine Air station in the area. Havelock is a small town on the way to the beach. Not much to do here but I will be happy to give you any info that you need.

Comment by sunshine73 on July 24, 2011 at 9:11pm: Cherry Point is very close-just across the river from me. Only about 15 minutes by ferry and 35 minutes driving around. Let me know if you need anything. I am happy to help.

Comment by mamawalrus on July 21, 2011 at 11:32pm: Well we are from New Mexico but he is coming from A school in San Antonio, TX. He graduates Tuesday from Corpsman school :)

Comment by mamawalrus on July 19, 2011 at 7:04pm: Hi all! I am not from NC but my son will be heading your way, hope you dont mind. I would like to get info about Cherry Point if anyone is familiar with it?
