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."

@rln16....That would be a great idea! I would love to meet people around here. I don't have any kids or work so it is really hard to meet people.

elizabeth77, My son has AT&T service with a California phone number. He and I talk and text weekly and have great reception. While in his room he does have to stay close to the door but everywhere else its been fine. Heard some have no reception in their rooms but my son hasn't experienced that. Might be his location.

My boyfriend just arrived here from basic :) Anyone have any tips for me about how to keep our relationship strong while he is there. I plan on visiting every 2 weeks. I feel like that is good for both of us. Any help out there?

Can someone tell me what cell phone service is the best in your area. Where I live some services have some dead spots. Some carriers have more or less than others. Does AT&T have good service there?

My husband and I will be arriving in Goose Creek tomorrow by noon, I hope. We are driving down to visit our son who is in A school. He earned phase 3 today so he can stay at the hotel with us! We are bringing his car down for him. It will be nice to see in person some of the places you ladies have mentioned. Have a great holiday weekend everyone!
