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 Betsyleebig on August 20, 2012 at 8:42pm: No he didn't find a roommate. He rented a 1 bedroom. I think Walmart is going to be his interior decorator. Checking out Atlantic Palms and Channel at Bowen seem very similar in what they offer. Not sure about the rent though. He got the only 1 bedroom available for rent which he can move in on Sept 1. My husband and I may go up on the first for a weekend to help him settle in and see the place. My husband said once the Patriots start playing he would find it hard to go away ! Big Patriot fan that he is. When I checked out the discussion about places to live around Goose Creek, Atlantic Palms seemed to be the one most recommended. Funny I didn't see it on the list when we were looking on the web..

Comment by CindyLou (Louisville) on August 20, 2012 at 8:19pm: Betsyleebig...My son leased an apartment at the Atlantic Palms. From the pics, they look pretty nice. The review that I read say they are kind of noisy. I hope that is an exaggeration. I don't think he knows what class he will be in yet. As it turns out, it was good that he found an apartment so fast because today he found out he has to be out of his room by Thursday. They are going to recarpet his room. He could move into another room and move again by Sept. 21st or he can just go ahead and move out. He doesn't want to move twice so he is just going to concentrate on his new place and move in there. Did your son find a roomate yet?

Comment by Betsyleebig on August 20, 2012 at 7:18am: CindyLou, where did they find an apartment? My son applied for one at The Channel of Bowen. Is your son in the October class or the one after that? My son was assigned to 1204.

Comment by CindyLou (Louisville) on August 20, 2012 at 7:10am: Wednesday or Thursday my son found out his is in prefill for prototype in GC and had to be moved out by Sept. 21. By Friday he and a buddy in the same class signed a lease for an apartment. Do you think they are excited to get an apartment? He already bought a new bed and living room furniture and pots and pans.

Betsyleebig, too bad they didn't get a 3 bedroom. They would have had room for another roomate. I am sure he will find others that are in need of roomates too.

Comment by Penny_Nuke_MM2_NimitzNuke on August 20, 2012 at 12:46am: All of those that are going to NY are invited to a presentation by a housing specialist and are told everything they need to know about BS and lots of places to stay well in advance of having to head up to BS. My son had a place to stay about 5-6 weeks ahead of his little jaunt up north. If they don't attend the meeting ... shame on them.

Comment by Jo1 on August 19, 2012 at 9:36pm: Does anyone know anything about the housing situation for prototype in New York?

Comment by Emily-aaronsgirl11 on August 19, 2012 at 7:26pm: bobbysproudmom- It's not official yet. I'm not sure a lot of people have heard the rumor. But supposedly a few higher ups have been discussing the possibility. I guess some major things were found wrong with the Reagan recently which was supposed to come out of drydock very soon.

Comment by bobbysproudmom on August 19, 2012 at 7:22pm: Emily, I hadn't heard that yet. I sure hope it doesn't get extended. I feel so bad for them. and for you and the rest of us that will be waiting.......waiting......waiting

Comment by susank on August 19, 2012 at 6:46pm: Sorry to hear that Emily. All I can offer is prayers! So I will do just that for the sailors and families of the Stennis! Cyber hugs too!

Comment by Emily-aaronsgirl11 on August 19, 2012 at 6:06pm: The worst ship anybody could get stationed on right now is the Stennis. I'm not even being sarcastic. They're headed out for at least 8 months. Our roommate came home with news today that they're starting talking of extending for 10. Not a fun ship to be on right now. Not at all.
