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."

Anyone in San Diego want to meet up?
My husband just left to Bahrain and I'm feeling quite lonely. I work full time as well but am looking to maybe meet up with some friends during the week sometime. I've only lived here for a couple months so am still just getting used to the area. Message me! :)

I'm about to move out there April 1! I know absolutely no one in San Diego and will probably be really bummed out when my husband has duty and when his ship has underways. I just added you; message me!

My fiance just started his duty days and its taking time to get used to it. I am pregnant so the emotions run high. Its nice to know I will be able to have someone to relate to when they are gone!

We definitely will have to keep in contact. Did you/he go to the town hall meeting a few weeks ago? (I heard the food on the ship is quite good so hes doing ok ;-) ) My fiance doesnt want to stay on the ship so he is living with a friend and comes home on the weekends until the military housing location we chose opens up. We are on a wait list right now. I am going to be moving from Anaheim CA so its only about an hour and a half away but still going to be a big change for me. If you ever have any questions or just want to talk feel free to message me anytime! I am pretty new to this Navy-Wife life and I must say it is WAY harder than I thought it was going to be... but 100% worth it
