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 Everyone.
Lori & Michelle - me too, I really like the idea of bringing dinner to the VA. Both my boys did volunteer work at the spinal cord unit.
Nancy and Pat, you might want to send out "group message" in the San Fran group reminding everyone about this meet and greet. When you are in the SF group, just click "send group message"
Please drop in and post in the SF group - doesn't seem like people are all that interested in posting or everyone has gone on to other projects and the group has outlived it's usefulness ..........
