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 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.

Comment by debnchris on March 20, 2013 at 9:50pm: Disney is good. The parking is free for 2 hrs.

Comment by Diane aka buzyw2 on March 20, 2013 at 9:06pm: Had a 1/25 PIR Alumni FB Group member volunteer her house as a meeting site so there's another "option" on the table. I'm not sure of where she lives yet but will follow up as I hear.
Since I grew up 1/4 mile from Disneyland, I'm good with that area. It's centrally located to OC, LA and the IE. Would be a haul for those in SD but still doable.
... and np DocRenee. I LOVE planning "meetings" and figured this would be a natural. I can see a NoCal MnG and a CentralValley MnG then maybe a big "annual" one rotating between the 3 areas every 3 years. But I'm getting ahead of myself. :)

Comment by debnchris on March 20, 2013 at 1:06am: I am in Costa Mesa.. What kind of a place are we looking for?..I will put my thinking cap on. There are plenty of places.

Comment by DocRenee on March 20, 2013 at 12:29am: This is a great group to start and I am going to try to save the 3rd weekend of May as well as June. Seems like we will be back near Disneyland or in that general area. I think debnchris lives in Costa Mesa and may know some local places. Anyone got any good ideas? Thanks buzyw2 for getting us together!

Comment by Diane aka buzyw2 on March 19, 2013 at 9:18pm: ... sorry ... revise that post ... Saturday or Sunday sound best.

Comment by Diane aka buzyw2 on March 19, 2013 at 9:16pm: ok ... we have interest from
jeepmom (from Sandy Eggo)
lreece (Riverside area)
Cheri (DTLA)
DocRenee (Long Beach)
debnchris (The OC)
buzyw2 (Riverside area)
and from FB 1/25 PIR Alumni group:
Jas Lowe (unknown location at the moment)

Sounds like a Saturday works best for most of us. I'll start looking for places in the mid- to So-OC area which seems to be fairly centrally located for OC, LA and SD people. Any suggestions? (in other words, any place brave enough to host us? LOL) Maybe 3rd week May or after school is out (3rd week June)?

Comment by jeepmom on March 19, 2013 at 8:50pm: I would like to go. I live in San Diego area and work on Saturdays. Let me know where you are going:)

Comment by 2tymeNavyMom on March 19, 2013 at 9:51am: buzw2 - I'm interested as well and you know I live in Riverside County so the OC, Huntington etc. will work for me as well. It will have to be a weekend thing though.

Comment by debnchris on March 19, 2013 at 9:43am: buzyw2 - I would be interested in a meet a greet. Sounds like fun.. I live in Orange County.

Comment by DocRenee on March 19, 2013 at 1:17am: Let's see if some other local LA/OC folks respond. I am willing to go into OC and Disneyland area, etc. We can work out the Saturday date later. This will be fun!
