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."

Lynn - welcome to our group! Our son is a GM as well and have been assigned to MSRON since late summer. He loves it so far. He's on a boat detachment and just deployed overseas. Feel free to send a private message to us and we'll tell you more - I hesitate to say much on here about details as it's public.

Brenda Sue - congratulations on the E4! Dano's gotta wait before he can sit for the exam. I think they messed him up while on hold at Great Lakes - he should have been able to take the test in Sept and missed it I think.

Humph. Dishes? What are those? Short answer: No. Actually we had 15 pp here so we used paper plates and flatware and just chucked them. They were very willing to help put away the turkey, sweet potatoes, green bean caserole, pie and large quantities of beer. :) They were great, actually. One was very talkative, one was very very quiet and one was in between. We had a good time. 2 were from Dano's squadron and one was from Rivron 3. I'm really glad we did it and will probably do the same for Christmas.

So jealous here, Glen. I would love to have been able to feed some Sailors who could not get home! I bet that was fun!!
Who did the cooking? Did they help with the dishes?

Hey Moms; Viv and I had a house full for Thanksgiving. Danny brought 3 other Sailors from Portsmouth with him - kids from Hawaii, New Hampshire and Seattle that couldn't get home. We had a great time and disposed of a LOT of food.

Hey all - are any of you in this group relatives of MSRON 2 Sailors? Glen

I have to laugh. Our son called my wife the other day and asked if the potatoe salad we gave him 2 weeks ago was still ok to eat. It's been sitting in his fridge. You can put a uniform on them but they are still the same kids sometimes.

Danny is coming home for the weekend and is bringing 2 other Sailors with him. We've restocked the steaks and beer and I'm going to have to stake out my claim on the remote control for some college football tomorrow. :) We're so glad we're close enough for him to come home and that we get to meet some other Sailors and open up our home to them. It makes me feel good....like buying a meal for a traveling Sailor, Marine or soldier in the airport. It's just the right thing to do!

Brenda Sue - our son Dan is in MSRON 2, BOATDET 21. He's a Gunners Mate, just arrived in Portsmouth less than 2 weeks ago. He likes it a lot. Doing PT, getting oriented, lots of classroom training. We'd be interested in hearing what the rest of you hear from your Sailors. How many of your Sailors are in East Coast MSRON units? Glen
