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 Proud Navy Wife on September 16, 2011 at 12:34pm: hey ladies, me and my husband will be moving to little creek. im looking for some info and opinions on base housing please!!!!!!

Comment by Ruth, Gun's Mom on September 2, 2011 at 12:02pm: Nice to see faces and names that I recognize on here when I joined--John and Yvonne, Iowa moms, LaLa....my son will be stationed at LC in March unless he transfers early from Great Lakes where he's been an instructor. He's looking for someone to share an apt with. Actually, would prefer a female sailor as he says they're neater, but if you've got a son who needs to share an apt and isn't a slob, he'd like to talk. He's really looking forward to being at LC, and we're excited to be traveling to VA again after three years. You'd think we would have seen him more since he's only 200 miles away, but we'll probably see him more when he's out East. He has two little girls that we'll bring to see him next summer.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on July 28, 2011 at 7:40am: Hi everyone, I just wanted to stop by and say hi and introduce myself. My name is Lora, everyone calls me Lala. I have been on this site for well over a year now. My daughter had PIR July 23rd last year and is an AO at NAS Oceana. She got married during A-school and her husband had PIR in October last year as well. They met in DEP. He is based at Little Creek. She has been in VA Beach since September and he has been there since Valentines day. My daughter's ship is dry-docked and my son-in-law is shore duty. I hope everyone is having a great summer.

Comment by John and Yvonne on November 24, 2010 at 12:04pm: For those of you who have sailors that are new to the area, or if you are in the military and new here yourself, there are two things I'd like to let you know about. First, my wife and I live in Virginia Beach. I'm a retired Navy chaplain (I also spent 10 years enlisted).

We have a fellowship in our home for servicemen and women. We get together Saturday evenings from 5-9 and eat, play board games, watch DVDs, go miniature golfing, and do other special events types of things. We also get together on Sunday afternoons from 1-5 for a big home cooked meal (Yvonne is a great cook!) and fellowship.

If you have sailors stationed here, or you're stationed here, and want to meet people, make friends, and have some fun doing it, we'ld love to meet you. Check out our profile page and if you're interested, contact us.

That was item number one. Now for item number two. I am also one of the pastors at Azalea Garden Church in Virginia Beach. If you're looking for a good, family oriented, friendly church, come check out our services. We're located at 1541 Centerville Turnpike in Virginia Beach.

Please don't feel lonely here. You have friends here that you just haven't met yet!

Happy Thanksgiving.

Comment by sjr23 on November 23, 2010 at 11:43pm: Yes, I think it is about the same thing. He does not have a car and he says it is a long walk from wherever he sleeps to wherever he has to go for 'stuff'. I don't think there are a lot from his boot camp stationed there, but he is pretty outgoing, at least that is in his favor. He does plan to buy a car over Christmas and I know he is looking forward to that!

Comment by lori_proud mom on November 23, 2010 at 10:58pm: Doesn't seem to crazy about it. I think he just needs to get used to it. He's trying figure out where everything is and how to get around. At GL he got used to using the train to get around. He also got to know people, now he's starting over. How about your son?

Comment by sjr23 on November 19, 2010 at 1:02am: hey thanks...ours said last night that he can have leave from 12/27 to 1/07...how does your son like little creek, lori?

Comment by lori_proud mom on November 18, 2010 at 11:40pm: My son, told me last night he can have leave from 12/20 to 12/27. Hope that helps!

Comment by sjr23 on November 17, 2010 at 1:38am: anyone out there who can tell me anything about how my sailor can and will know if he is going to be coming home for xmas?
