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 lucky in that during the week I'm at a desk all day so I have access from a desktop. The weekends are a little harder as I use my phone then!

Well I see there is a Leemore group and you have already joined it! Unfortunately it's not very active either :( Hopefully someone will respond to your request for info in that group. You can always click on the different member profiles that have posted in that group and then look and their page and leave them a message. Good luck!

Oops - I just assumed it was San Diego - my mistake. Unfortunately I don't know anything about the Leemore area. There may be a group on here for that area - I'll take a look around for you.

Hi Teachermomto2 and welcome! This isn't a real active group but if I can help you I'll try. I live about an hour or so from San Diego. Your sailor will love San Diego - it's beautiful (but some areas can be a bit expensive). Lots to do - beach, zoo, Sea World, hiking - even the mountains are doable! If you can visit even better ;-D
