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."

Valerie; We are so excited to have everyone at the meet and greet. What a great itme we will have as a group thinking about our Sailors a few miles down the road.. : ) We are wearing navy blue shirts whether it be a T-shirt or polo shirt that is how we are trying to identify the Navy for Moms group.. Linda posted a shirt on our PIR 6/25 page that Walmart has that I am going to go and buy today. It is a face with a Sailor hat VERY cute...
I am getting my son a note-book laptop for his graduation, some are getting their loved ones new cell phones, I know some ordered gift cards from the NEX on the base as well. I hope those few ideas help. Have a wonderful day!!!

Ladies, being a late member of this group, I just want to say that after reading through all the posts that I am so honored to be a part of your group!!! My family is staying at the Ramada Inn and will be attending the meet and greet! I can't wait to meet all of you in person. We will have 5 people attending - we are beyond excited! Only 8 days and we will see our SAILORS!
Someone please tell me what we are too wear as I'm going shopping for my outfit this weekend. Any ideas for gifts for our new SAILORS?
