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."

Good morning to all. Does anyone know about the group for wives/significant of US Navy Corpsmen in San Diego, CA area? My husband, US Navy Corpsman, just got orders and went there on Friday to San Diego, CA Hospital base. I had never been there, so i would like to connect to other, preferably middle aged, wives from there. I know i'll follow sometime in the future and would like to have some housing/living situation before i get there. Thank you for whomever responds, God Bless, in Solidarity, m.

Hi Everyone, My daughter just left for boot camp on 8/13. She is in Great Lakes. We are for the L.A. area and she is planning on making this her career. I haven't been able to speak to her yet nor have been able to get a letter but I am hoping this week since we are entering week 2. I was very happy to hear about this site from my husbands Aunt she said it helped her a lot when her son left for the Navy. :)

Congrats to your daughter on this new journey. My daughter graduated 4 years ago tomorrow and yes it was amazing and it still is. Now the good part, you can talk to her when your schedules allow. I used to Skype a lot with my daughter when she was in Pensacola and Norfolk. We even plotted a Skype birthday party. Coming up with ideas to keep her spirits up has been fun. Enjoy the ride, mom!
