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."

Navygirl430 and Jen0338, did you see that you both are from Pennsylvania?  Small world!

Just in case there are any new sailors in this area that won't be going home for Thanksgiving, Yvonne and I have room at our table for about eight to ten. Most of you know that we open our home to servicemen and women on a regular basis. Most of those who fellowship with us regularly are going home. So I just thought we would let you all know that there isn't any reason for your sons or daughters to be alone during the holidays. But do let us know to help us plan.

Hi, we just got our home port change and i'm trying to decide what waiting list i should get on?  Wellings Court or Port Lyautey?  I seen they are located in the same area but i'm wondering if there is any difference.  I was also looking at Whitehurst Farm area.  Does anyone have any suggests for us?  My husband and I have 3 kids and a dog and cat so we definitely need a fenced in yard with a great school district nearby...
