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 abuon18 on March 7, 2012 at 12:05pm: Lorimc- for some reason I can't post my answer to your discussion. But we move with my dog also and each hotel has their own policy but as far as brands go most Holiday Inns allow pets as well as Homewood Suites by Hilton. I used to work for IHG and Hilton so those are the ones I would always use. Also you might want to check out Staybridge Suites and Candlewood Suites. They are IHG properties and I believe that most of them allow pets too!

Comment by Sweet*Southern*Lady on March 5, 2012 at 10:03pm: Thank you LivNLrn!!! So glad!

Comment by LivNLrn on February 23, 2012 at 7:59am: Thanks to the petitions and protests the last few days, military families are now EXEMPT from the huge rate hike ($1400-4000) to ship our pets home from Guam on Continental, which was supposed to begin next month! If you helped out with this, thanks a lot! You made a difference! Yay!

Comment by LivNLrn on February 17, 2012 at 4:13am: For those of you who are moving and traveling with a pet- We have to show we are not going to stand for this!

Continental/United airline has announced that beginning March 2012, they will NO LONGER allow pets to be considered as excess baggage from Japan and the Asian Pacific Region, but will have to be transported as CARGO, which will cost from $1400-$4000 PER PET!!! Military families who have already sacrificed so much to defend our Country will now likely have no choice but to leave their beloved fury family members behind, permanently. Please go to both links to read more and sign a petition to fight this price hike. There is strength in numbers. Please share the link on your facebook page and email your friends and families too! If they get away with it for this region, what is to stop them from doing it with all flights? If you have any ideas on how to get the word out, please share your thoughts!!!

I am on my phone though and it's not letting me message you, so if you could message me that would be great! Congratulations! San Diego is great, you'll love it!

Comment by Stacy(Div 149/Ship 3) on January 13, 2012 at 3:58am: So we just got our first orders to San Diego! Moving in about a month. If any ladies on here know about good places to live, about how much rent is, the area, jobs, all that good stuff send me a message because i'm totally blind right now!!
