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."

Markswifey... Most of they navy group on here lives in the Northwest part of San Antonio. 151 & potranco, 1604 and culebra inside and outside the loop are both good I think. I live off bandera and Grissom. You can friend me and I will give you my phone number. My son is stationed in Hawaii on a sub.

Austin's Other Mom, is your sailor training for MA or Hospital corpman. All the answers below are great if your sailor is at Lackland but HC are at FT. Sam

Hi yall, going to visit our sailor Easter weekend. Two questions, do you know of a nondemoninational church in the area? And where would you recommend we get lodging....not wanting to spend a great deal on lodging, would rather spend money having fun.
Comment by jax on March 15, 2013 at 4:39pm

wanted to have an easter basket sent to my son at Lackland AFB but not sure if this was exceptable or not? has anyone had treats delivered by an outside co. to the base?

Comment by jax on March 8, 2013 at 8:26pm

WOW thanks guys great info my son says there is a stray cat on base that most of them feed there food scraps to, he is affectionately named Lt. Meowski...so cute! my son comes from a house of multiple pets so felt right at home with this little rascal running around.

Comment by Queenjailyle on March 7, 2013 at 12:46pm
Jax- I'm almost positive there is a Subway just off base on ValleyHi rd as well. I used to live about 2 miles from that particular gate.
Comment by snj1959 on March 5, 2013 at 10:17pm

Jax...  I am not sure what is on base but off base there is a great hamburger place only in Texas (ok maybe some in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Florida, New Mexico) but my point is, it was born in Texas!  It is called Whataburger.  There are other places close by on Hwy 151 and 410.  Chipolte, The Egg and I, Five Brothers hamburgers, Freebirds, Genghis Grill and lots and lots more.  Then there are the malls.  I am sure they will take care of your son and if you have any questions, let me know and I will try to help out as much as possible.
