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."

My son-in-law is being sent to Little Creek in September. My daughter and I know nothing about anything in Virginia! Looking for advice, info, and help as to what's a good area for them to be living in and around. They are expecting their first child, a baby boy, Christmas, first grand baby for us and his parents, as well!!--lol
So much anticipation and excitement, but, we really need to get it together fast, like yesterday, and figure out some living arrangements asap in Virginia. Please Help!!! Thanks.
