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."

I'm already a member of the Alexandria page. lol But, I thank you for the invite just the same. =)
I think like a lot of moms I check in everyday to see if anyone has heard from their sons, and to see if there is any type of 'news.' Navy for Moms is such an invaluble source of support and information. I'm thankful to 'know' you friendly ladies.

Daniella...
Thank you for the welcome. I have not seen any other mention of the La Jolla. Do you know if there is a facebook for moms? My son joined a group but I don't think he would want me on there.

hmm...I don't know about that. I believe that there's only 2groups on FB for La Jolla. One should be the one your son joined, and the other one is cooking club one, so I don't know anything about that. Actually, we don't even have La Jolla group on this website :( But you can create one, then we can see how many families are on this website :D
