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."

Welcome, Klu! I grew up outside of Mpls, but I haven't lived there in a long time. SC will be a big change from MN, but I am sure he will enjoy it when he has time.

Hello all, from Minnesota. My sailor arrived in GC early early this a.m. Looking forward to your wealth of experience here, in this group. Do any of your sailors play hockey? I know he will be very busy, but later, when he phases up, he may want to do a little drop in hockey. Not sure how active the hockey community is in SC. (I also posted this in Nuke Moms group - not sure if I'm in the right place for this question) Thanks!

Thank you!!

From what I recall when my son was there I don't believe they can put things on the walls (but I don't actually remember!). They do have room inspections - maybe a small picture frame on his desk would be ok.

Hello all! I was just curious as to how much freedom the sailors have to decorate their rooms in GC. I've read that they can choose bedding and similar things, are they allowed to hang posters or anything like that? Thanks so much!
