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."

Hi D.
What part of GA are you moving to? Are you heading to the Kings Bay area or going to Augusta or?
It makes a big difference on what we can tell you - but you will love it here. Fall is the best time of the year, it's been a very HOT summer. -

Hi D.
King's Bay is pretty south from us - I think it's close to a six hour drive from Atlanta. I have been down there on occassion and you will be very close to Jacksonville, FL. Wish I could offer you some solid information about the area but I have only passed thru. -

Hey Demitreana! I live in middle Georgia but have visited the GA coast a few times. While I have not been to Kings Bay, I have been to points north and south of it. Jekyll and St. Simons Islands are very pretty, with fun shops, restaurants, and neat historic areas. Fort Clinch State Park (Florida) is very cool. I must say I prefer the beaches in Fort Clinch area - you can even find sharks teeth! If you google these places you will find lots of information. I have not been to Cumberland Island but would definitely take advantage of it, being as close as you will be!!! I have heard it is gorgeous. Climate shouldn't be much different from what you are accustomed to except that you will be closer to the coast.
Best of luck to you and yours!!! -
