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."

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.)

Comment by debnchris on March 21, 2013 at 11:08am: 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.

Comment by DocRenee on March 21, 2013 at 2:00am: 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. :)
