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."

Just got home today from Great Lakes, PIR. Our son graduated Friday Oct. 11, 2013 and went on to SA for MA A school. We just moved back to Tucson a month ago. I lived here for 30 years and all my family are here. My husband's job moved us around quite a bit the last 10 years and after our son graduated highschool and left for boot camp the opportunity came up to move back home. Timing could not have been better. We are very happy to be back in the Old Pueblo!!! I would also like to know about events for Navy Moms in the Tucson area!!!!

MsKnow - my son graduated HS in 2011, but was living with his dad up in Utah that year, so didn't graduate here. However, my other 2 kids are still in school here & my daughter graduated this last May - maybe she knows your son! My youngest son will graduate 2016. Marcy - I'm so sorry I will miss the Oct 19th event! I already have plans :( I will definitely keep an eye out for the next event! Would LOVE to meet other mom's from my area going thru the same thing!! :)
