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 Dany - Navy Wife on September 12, 2012 at 9:00pm: Hi there! I'm planning to move to Pensacola while my husband is attending his A school.

As I'm not moving all my stuff there, I'm planning to rent a furnished apartment (short term lease) for 3 months or so.

Do you recommend any condo in the area?

Any help would be great!

Thanks, Dany.

Comment by Porsha on October 18, 2011 at 11:17pm: Thanks! Also I have found a place called Robin's Place, they are duplex style apartments. Has anyone heard anything good/bad about them?

Comment by April on October 18, 2011 at 10:39am: Austinwood is 2 mins from the back gate! Super close and very military friendly apts!

Comment by Porsha on October 17, 2011 at 7:34pm: Thanks! I have looked into Austinwood some and it looks nice! How far away is it from the base? I have looked into a few places that ae about 20 minutes away.. is that too far?

Comment by Valarie26 on October 17, 2011 at 5:49pm: Try to stick close to the base because trust me you will be driving there multiple times a day! LOL Most of the people I know down here live in either sandalwood or autsinwood. Both are really nice, but austinwood is a bit more expensive. If you have any other questions feel free to message me :)

Comment by Porsha on October 17, 2011 at 1:17pm: Hi everyone, my husband arrived in Pcola yesterday and I am looking to move own there ASAP! But i'm not really sure where to start looking.. does anyone have suggestions on apartments?? Thanks!

Comment by Lyndsi on September 19, 2011 at 6:42pm: Ok, i will be in floirda in about a week and i can transfer jobs if i want too but i would rather use that as a last resort. I need something new, tired of slapping out pizzas for a living lol. Does anyone know of places that are currently hiring? Any suggestions would be great. THANK YOU ladies :)

Comment by ATI wife on September 13, 2011 at 2:34pm: well he cant live with u until he has brown bagger status so he has to request that. But in order to get that yes u have to be married already, have a place with his name on the lease, and have a working car.. All apartments here can be rented for any amounts of months because in Florida its a law that owners must follow military clause .. Which means when u need to move out u can as long as its the military sending u some where else..

Comment by amberrose on September 13, 2011 at 8:57am: ATI Wife - We are getting married in November, and his A School is 18 weeks at least (not counting government holidays, the Christmas break, etc.) He expects to be in Pensacola until at the very least January, maybe February of 2012. (he just started his classes) But, that being said, he learned that he could do additional schooling if his grades are high enough.

Originally I was not going to move to Pensacola after we get married, because everything I had heard up to this point was that my Sailor could not live with me off base because his school was not longer than 6 months. Then I've heard that there are Sailors that have gotten that request granted.

So! To make a long story short, I am wondering what the availability of housing is in the Pensacola area, and if there are month-to-month rental packages available.
