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 MidwestNavyMom on May 13, 2011 at 1:54pm: How common is it to have a vehicle while in San Diego? Necessary?

Comment by Niña on April 30, 2011 at 6:45pm: Hi ladies, anyone who is stationed in Lemoore, CA?

just wanna meet some before me & my hubbs move there by June :)

Comment by Rhonda(EMmom) on April 21, 2011 at 7:52pm: Cori--good luck to you and your boyfriend. My son wants us to move out to SD as well, he loves it out there! We are in Wisconsin and would love to get away from the cold but it would be a huge endeavor for us right now only for the fact that we need somewhere to live and work! Oh is that all??? lol Keep us informed.

Comment by MidwestNavyMom on April 21, 2011 at 2:00pm: Just joined this group. My son recently graduated Pensacola and is now in California. I hear it's a great location.

Comment by missinghim(ship 7,div110) on April 18, 2011 at 2:06pm: Does anyone have suggestions on places to live near the base?

Comment by mysailorson on April 14, 2011 at 2:20pm: Cori - You can check out homeaway.com or vrbo.com they handle rentals. We have used them for vacations to San Diego.

Comment by Claudia(Andy's WIfe) on April 11, 2011 at 1:39pm: Hello everyone! It's been awhile since I've been on here but wanted to stop in and say hi. Looks like theres a few more people who have joined. I've been here in the Point Loma area since last Sept. Even though we've been here for over 6 mths, I find it still really hard to meet people who can kind of relate. I have a 4 1/2 yr old, a almost 3 yr old and am 8 mths pregnant with our third. If anybody wants to get together for a playdate would love to get together.

@Cori: What area is your sailor in or what base is he at?

Comment by Sam0618 on March 20, 2011 at 7:01pm: love mysailor- i cant believe how much there is to do here! still barely scratched the surface. i heard about the seals! where would you have to go in la jolla to see them?

Comment by adm60 on March 18, 2011 at 4:20pm: Hi all---new to this group. Sailor due in Coronado on Sunday afternoon (coming from Pensacola) PIR 2.4.11. I am wondering what it will be like for him.
