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."

Thanks guys! I am not too sure where he will be working exactly yet, just on base we are pretty sure. A house would be our first choice but I'm not sure how easy it will be to find a place to rent so an apartment would be ok too.
Debbie- do you know about how far Columbia is from base?

Hey everyone!
Awesome group! We just got stationed at Fort Meade, pretty soon we will be looking for houses. I have never even been anywhere near that area, so I was wondering if anyone knew a little about what neighborhoods would be good to live in? (safe, not too far, not to old or run down, etc.) Thanks!! :)

lol i dunno any good hotels but tell them in Annapolis only one of them needs to be present for the marriage licence, That way your son can go get it before she comes so they dont have to wait the 3 day wait period.
Thats just assuming they are short on time =] Congrats!
