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 erinlynn87(7/289) on December 8, 2011 at 2:14pm: Hi everyone! My husband and I should be moving out to the San Diego area around the end of Jan/beginning of Feb....I am totally lost as far as apartment searching. Can anyone suggest SAFE apartments that are pet friendly? I have a small 10lb dog :)

Comment by Yenni24 (Ship11div196) on November 22, 2011 at 6:25pm: hi pinkstang! When are you moving? We're moving (I think) early Janurary..we have a 3 yr old boy and a 4month old girl..i'm completely clueless as well - about housing, a job for me, daycare for the kids, etc etc etc... its nervewracking but so exciting!

Comment by warrens momma on November 16, 2011 at 5:05am: have a great voyage USS New Orleans!

Comment by Yenni24 (Ship11div196) on November 15, 2011 at 2:26am: Hi everyone! My husband just received orders for NHC San Diego (he's currently at C school for AVT)..he's a little worried it'll be boring since its not ship duty - anyone have experiences that I can share with him? As for me - I'm thrilled to move to SD!!!

Comment by TropikalParadize on November 9, 2011 at 10:03pm: I have....the one on 32nd street. Its really nice, if you have any questions, let me know! We were there for 2 weeks while we were moving here.

Comment by NavyMom4J on November 8, 2011 at 7:42pm: Has anyone stayed at the Navy Lodge in SD?

Comment by navymommo on November 8, 2011 at 7:35pm: Thanks very much- Looking for a place now in Coronado! So excited to see our son and have some time with him!

Comment by Dona on November 7, 2011 at 11:52pm: We were in Coronado 2 yrs. ago for Christmas-beautiful! We stayed with our son and his family in their condo so I doon't have much info on lodging. I know you will have a wonderful time!

Comment by TropikalParadize on November 7, 2011 at 11:04pm: I second what Tim said....OB is a funky, fun place but if you are looking for a real nice, upscale beach community Coronado is your place! La Jolla is really nice as well, but its a ways north of Pt Loma, and can be a real pain to get in and out of from the 5 depending on the day and time of day....
