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."

This picture is of Sue, Molly, Diane, Lynn, and myself in NYC last August! We are all from different states. One of the best trips I have taken since my adventure with my son began! I think Brenda Sue is taking the picture! I wanted to post it so that you guys will be as excited as I am about meeting all of you!!! Mark you calendars for the next meet and greet in California on August 29, 2009.

Hello, My son left last Wednesday and I miss him dearly. So far all the out pouring love has helped but I'm missing him now more than ever...

Carolina for son's A school grad on 4/19 but other than that most weekends are good for me.....(There's also an Inland Empire Mom's group that I belong to and we get together every once in a while if anyone is interested.)

May or June.. The beach area would be nice too.  We could also rent a duffy and pack up some wine, cheese and other items and be out in the bay.. Just another thought.  I am up for what ever ... This is just going to be FUN

Comment by Diane aka buzyw2 on March 21, 2013 at 4:40am

2 more from 1/25 PIR Alumni Group ... up to 11 interested.  Messaged various peeps in and around Anaheim/North OC/Yorba Linda on ideas.  If you know of other Alumni groups and can pass word on here, greatly appreciated and LMK if any want to join us.  Need a basic head count about 5/1 or so with a cut off about a week before we decide on a final date.

I love DTD and the energy there. But I'm also open to other places or someone's home nearby. This seems centrally located. So I look forward to hearing all the options. As soon as we know a place, let's lock in either May or June date. I can't wait! Renee

Comment by Diane aka buzyw2 on March 21, 2013 at 12:37am

Robin added to the group plus 2 more from 1/25 PIR group ... that's 9 so far ...
I've asked my various Loara (Anaheim) classmates and Disney "cast members" if they can help or have ideas.  :)
