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."

Julie, last year our DEP Potluck was on base and we had the recruiters there to assist all to get on base. This year's Potluck is at the Reserve Center and that's not on base.

I don't think we've planned anything for November in Tucson yet. I just got the date for the 2nd Annual DEP Family Potluck here in Tucson - Saturday, November 14th!! Place and time to be announced as soon as we figure it out!

Julie, every 'department' has an ombudsman so it sounds like you have everything under control. As long as your son has passed your name on to his command your name will be on the list of guests at the gate to get on base. It's not nearly as intimidating has it looks, there are ships coming in all the time with lots of family and friends who want to be there to welcome back that sailor!
Your ombudsman for the squadron will be able to answer any/all questions you have.

Here's the ombudsman email for the Ronnie Reagon:
