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."

Don't discuss future destinations or ports of call!
Don't discuss future operations or missions!
Don't discuss dates and times of when we will be in port or conducting exercises!
Don't discuss readiness issues and numbers!
Don't discuss specific training equipment!
Don't discuss people's names and billets in conjunction with operations!
Don't speculate about future operations!
Don't spread rumors about operations!
Don't assume the enemy is not trying to collect information on you so he can kill you, he is!
Be smart, use your head, and always think OPSEC and COMSEC when using email or phone!
Rules of thumb for parents and loved ones:
*If your sailor indicates to you they can't tell you something, believe them. Don't try to coax them into telling.
*If it is published by the navy about where a ship or unit has been (not going), that is when it's okay to share.
*If your sailor is in a high security area, say a nuke or EOD, consider using a nick name for them and you, a seperate email without your name on it, and don't even tell where YOU live. Let them tell you what they want you to tell others or if they are worried about info, always let them know you are on here. That's why they are careful on here about only putting first names on your profile page.
*Be aware, the OPSEC 10 points are about what they can't talk about. Think about what YOU might share as a parent or loved one of a military member that could cause trouble. You also have a responsibilty.
*Be respectful and teach other parents if they don't know and say too much, no need to be disrespectful or mean to them about it. Just guide them and let them know they maybe need to rewrite or delete the post. There isn't a member on here that wants to cause trouble or harm. They just aren't thinking or don't know.

I agree with SeabeeWife20. There are also multiple hotels in Biloxi which is not far away. If you are looking for something less expensive there may be other options in Pass Christian etc. Although you will have to drive further to get to base.

Yelomoon, since your daughter is stationed here, you can stay on base at the Navy Lodge. The rates are good and you'd be on base close to her. If you want to stay out in town there are several hotels close to base that are nice. The Wingate by Wyndham is on the beach on Broad Ave. This is the closest hotel to base and is new. Then there is the Holiday Inn Express in Long Beach, also on the beach and maybe 3-5 miles from base. Other than those two, you have casinos and hotels that are a little further inland. If you call 1-800-NAVY-INN you can see about a room on base, you'll just need some of your daughter's information. Hope this helps.

Hi yelomoon. I have never stayed at the Diamondhead Hotel. I spoke to a friend of mine that lives in Diamondhead and she said that she would not stay there and has not heard anything good about it. Is there a reason you were looking at staying in Diamondhead rather than Gulfport?

Our daughter is stationed at Gulfport.

I was going to book a room there until I read the reviews.

Nice to meet you Karen. We have been to Gulfport twice. Could you please tell me anything about the Diamondhead Hotel?

Enjoy Joanie!

By the way I forgot to mention that I live only 20-30 minutes from Gulfport so if any of you have Seabee's in Gulfport I would be happy to help out in any way!

Hi all. My son just left for BC on 4/23. He will be a Seabee. His job is CE. He was so excited!! He will be going to Sheppard for A School so all you Moms out there with kids at Sheppard I would appreciate anything you can tell me. I did get my I'm here call but have not received the box or form letter yet. I am so happy I found this group. Good luck to all of you and your Seabee's!
