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."

Rachel, I posted a response to your question on September 25 with a link to basic information. Please go back one page.
Lorraine, 17 of us are having dinner at the Marines' Memorial Hotel on Saturday night. Two tables at 7:10 and 7:40. There is room for 2 more, if you would like to join us. In the same comment posted on Sept 25, I have a link to the Event posted on the San Francisco Bay Area Navy Families group site.
We are really looking forward to it.

Computer tip for those with poor eyesight.
Did you all know that you can "increase" or "decrease" the size of everything on your screen, by holding down the "Ctrl" key with one finger and turning the little dial on top of your mouse? Try it. I just found out about this little trick and thought I had invented sliced bread.

Please thank your son for his service for me. What a wonderful thing your son is doing for the next four years. My son PIR'd on 12/4/9 and was deployed in May.
