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."

Thank you BeachBunny
That's great to hear ReneeHum,,,he should be working his way thru the orientation checklist..they have a big list of places to go, people to meet..this helps them get familiar with the base...
Make sure to ask him to add you to the ombudsman communication list...then you'll get emails and newsletters about the base and squadron...
Hi, my son has been here for 1 week tomorrow. He sounds better every time we talk. It makes me very happy, but he's there 1 week but is feels longer... Hope all is well
Good Morning, text my son last night each day is getting better. He's having a hard time with change, and not knowing people. It's only been 4 months since he went in, I'm trying to tell him things will get better once your job & training is done...
Encourager, so is mine. Sounds like they have had a nice liberty in Croatia
Thank you, BeachBunny for the answer...
BeachBunny I don't know if he has a sponsor, I will ask
I saw a few riding them in their NWUs...he'll have to ask...does he have a sponsor yet, Renee??
There's a Navy Lodge and Beach Motel on base...Mugu is hard to get on without DOD ID...my sailor meets me at the gate, we pull up, guards scan the car underneath and look inside everyone has to have an ID...
Would like to know if there is a Navy Lodge at base. Thank you.
