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 Ree ( Kelsey's mom) on October 23, 2014 at 9:23am: You may also be able to stay at the Navy Lodge? Not sure the criteria for staying there?

Comment by Ree ( Kelsey's mom) on October 23, 2014 at 9:23am: The Hampton in North Charleston is nice and in a good safe location. It's just minutes from the school. The rates are great, rooms are clean, and beds are comfy.

Comment by gretamae3 (nuke mom) on October 18, 2014 at 10:32am: I will be going to charleston for thanksgiving. Should I stay in villas on base ?

Comment by kjzmsmom on September 28, 2014 at 7:05pm: Hi - my son (about to start prototype in Charleston) is looking for a 1 bedroom rental, hopefully with a garage. If anyone has a recommendation, it would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Comment by Mamma D on September 18, 2014 at 1:21pm: Sheets are provided!!

Comment by RV_Mom and Dad on September 18, 2014 at 12:28pm: This may be a silly question, but does anybody know if the beds in the barracks are twin or XL twin?? Just trying to get stuff together that he'll need when he gets to A school!

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on September 15, 2014 at 11:57am: Here's the # for the Villas (located on base). 843.794.2120. Your sailor will have to make the reservations for you. They have 1, 2, & 3 bedroom places.

Comment by Patricksmom on September 15, 2014 at 10:54am: When we visited in August, we stayed at the Best Western. It was nice and less expensive than a lot of the other chains. And a hot breakfast is included! The one in Landon is about 15 minutes from base. After we were there my son mentioned something about an on base option (I think he called it the cottages or villas or something) that was supposed to be nice and affordable. I don't know about it but maybe someone else on here would have more info on that.

Comment by 3cricketts on September 11, 2014 at 12:15pm: My son will be graduating from B school in November, is this a ceremony that family attends? If so, I am thinking of flying in and staying at a local hotel? What are my options for overnight stays? Thanks!
