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! I just joined your group and I joined blue Star moms a couple weeks ago. Although I haven't heard anything from them I can go on the website and my membership check cleared the bank so I believe I am good to go. My daughter has been in the Navy for almost a year. She is an EN currently stationed in San Diego. Just thought I would say HI!

Don't worry about arriving late or leaving early you can still come and enjoy some great company. However, please RSVP 901-218-3715 so we can tell the hostess a number.
