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 Michele_Ava on May 4, 2013 at 9:48pm: Hi!

Is anyone living around Monterey? My husband will be heading to school to be a linguist there after bootcamp which he leaves for on May 16th. Then after we figure out if we're getting a base house or not myself and our two little ones ages 3 and 1 will all be going out to join him!

Agh this is all so new and exciting and scary so much change :)

Comment by TropikalParadize on April 11, 2013 at 12:46am: Hey Gina!

Feel free to message me anytime, I live here in Coronado and hopefully I can be of some help to you! My first advice is try other areas other than Coronado...the area of Imperial Beach is very close by and a lot less expensive than Nado....if you want any tips, we are actually looking at buying in that area so feel free to message me. Another thing is, maybe you can try Fleet and Family services, I know where the one on 32nd st base is, but I'm not sure where the one on NASNI is, but I'm sure could find it with some poking around....also what command is he with? You could also get in contact with the command's ombundsman as well, she might have some useful tips for your particular situation. Gosh if I think of any other potential avenues to pursue I will let you know, these are the ones that first came to mind.....Oh also you could see if the USO has any relief services? That one I am really not sure of, but its worth a call, at least! I hope something presents itself for you, and like I said, don't hesitate to message me and I can try and help any way I can!

Comment by GMom on April 3, 2013 at 10:06am: My Rescue Swimmer son who is done with SERE and now waiting to class up for FRAC is looking for a car in San Diego....anyone looking to seel who might be getting deployed?

Comment by TropikalParadize on March 5, 2013 at 10:25pm: Haha I will do my best! Too bad you couldn't have been here last weekend, it was beautiful!

Comment by chopsmom on March 5, 2013 at 9:12am: Just one more thing, TropikalParadize, could you please make the rain go away for Friday? Thanks! :-)

Comment by TropikalParadize on March 5, 2013 at 2:23am: Those sound like great plans, Chopsmom! Hope you guys have a wonderful time here!

Comment by chopsmom on March 5, 2013 at 12:06am: Thanks, TropikalParadize, for all the info. I have spent a ton of time looking at the area on Google Earth. We will fly out there right as our area is hit by a huge snow storm. My sailor says that the difference in weather will be shocking! I have planned to spend the day at the Midway (we are aviation nuts!), to spend another day in La Jolla, and to see Point Loma and Balboa Park. But, hey, if we end up just sitting on the balcony of our hotel the whole time talking to our sailor, it'll be worth it!

Comment by CookieGVB on March 4, 2013 at 1:29pm: Hi - thinking of where to stay in San Diego when my son goes out for his first deployment. Have a reservation at the Hilton on Mission Bay Drive - good/bad/close/far?

Thanks!

Comment by CourtNavyWife on February 27, 2013 at 4:02pm: Hey everyone ! I am new to all of this and My husband is stationed in San Diego on the USS Ronald Reagan :) I will be moving out there soon with our newborn son I am looking to connect with other wives out there ! :)
