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 Storymom on September 11, 2015 at 6:54pm: ( now I'm googling TCU !??) must be the University? let's see, T E X A S ...something University? You ladies are Great!

Comment by JediGrey on September 11, 2015 at 6:53pm: Sorry, that should be Bryant Irven, I-20, I-30, and Hulen. The 4 roads will form a square. Have him look in that area. Or in the area of West 7th downtown, or on University which is near Texas Christian University.

Comment by Storymom on September 11, 2015 at 6:50pm: oh gosh, these are such great suggestions! Thanks! Tsu: he's single, 28, no kids, and always looks forward to meeting the ladies! :-)

Comment by JediGrey on September 11, 2015 at 6:42pm: I checked with my nephew who lives near the joint reserve base. He recommended looking near the intersection of Bryant and Irvan, and Hulen between I20 and I30, and West 7th downtown, and University (TCU girls). His words, not mine! He said lots of new guys live there. Good places to eat. Plenty of apartments to choose from. The area of Fossil Creek is okay he says, but traffic was terrible.

Comment by JediGrey on September 11, 2015 at 6:25pm: I live north of the Dallas-Ft. Worth airport, and am unfamiliar with housing down by the joint reserve base. But I can tell you that the Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base is on the west side of Fort Worth just south of Lake Worth, right near Lockheed Martin. I think people are just more familiar with Dallas, probably because of the old tv show and the Cowboys, so they just say "Dallas". Same metroplex. But yes, he'll want to live on the West side of Fort Worth. He could start researching complexes near Lockheed. Fort Worth is a great town, btw. Lot's to do.

Comment by tsufish on September 11, 2015 at 6:25pm: The Joint Base is in west Ft Worth. Does he have schooled children? There many places here could live depending on what he wants to spend. The major issue with different places would be the schools if his has kids.

Comment by harpist mom on September 11, 2015 at 5:54pm: Hi Storymom, I live in Dallas, and I am not aware of a base near here. I believe it is in Fort Worth. I recommend that your son seek housing in Fort Worth or areas around Ft. Worth. Dallas is not the best option for him if he works in west Fort Worth because the traffic is terrible in the DFW area. Live as close to your work as possible, my motto.

Comment by Storymom on September 11, 2015 at 5:48pm: Hi again...yes-- it's confusing to us too. He keeps saying "Dallas" but yet online, I see the "joint base" is in Fort Worth....so maybe we're just using the wrong labels? He'll probably start at the Navy Lodge, which appears to be in Fort Worth. You are all so nice !

Comment by Kamsmom11 on September 11, 2015 at 12:24pm: Well the base is in Fort Worth Texas so I'm sure he will be in the west part of Fort Worth .. Right?
