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 everyone!
I just want to remind everyone here that operational security is designed to keep our loved ones on the CH safe. Please DO NOT discuss ship movement, return dates/months, port visits or the like...we want them to return to us!
Additionally, for anyone needing information about the Little Creek/VA Beach area, please feel free to contact me, I live local and can help you with basic information to include base access, areas to avoid, etc.

I have stayed there before. It is about 10-15 minutes from the base. It seemed to be a safe area. I did not check into the housing on base. Of course the Navy can change the dates at any time, but we booked rooms so that we would have one. We can cancel up to one day before without penalty.
I don't know exactly what the activities are, but I got an email from the ombudsman. I have also been in contact with the wife of my son's Chief. They have done some fund raisers for the activities. They have a family event planned for the evening before. You can get more information from the facebook page.
Getting on base... I'm sure your Sailor will have to put you on a list. There will probably be more information from the FRG as the time gets closer. The ombudsman will be able to tell us.
Go to the FRG page on facebook. It will give you a lot of the information you are asking for.

We are going to be on the pier. I can't wait to see my son come off the ship. The FRG has activities planned for the whole event. We are staying at the Best Western Center Inn. It is one of the closest to the base. The rooms are clean, the staff is friendly, and they have decent rates.
