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."

Hi Sharon, thank you. Either Abby or I will send out welcoming messages (post on their page) to everyone who joins. If possible, it would be great if you can send out a welcome message with a link to this group to new members from Central Vally. Check out the welcoming message we post for all new members (haven't done it for today). I find it the easier (so you don't have to retype each message) to type it on one person's page (with the hyperlink included), then before you hit add comment to copy it and save it to a WORD file. Then next time it's just copy and paste before hitting add comment. I do this for SF Bay members.

Good morning, everyone. I am BunkerBee from the SF Bay Area Navy Families and Northern California Navy Moms group. I am working on a project and need a couple of volunteers from this area.
The Navy Recruiting District San Francisco extends from Eureka to Porterville and from Pacific Coast to Nevada. Some of the recruiters do not even know about Navy For Moms. Finding CA members and sending them a message is hit and miss and extremely time consuming (I know first hand because I have been doing this for 8-10 months). Quiltlady and I thought all the recruiters in the San Francisco district should have a little starter kit packet with information on about N4M, how to use the site, about our CA groups and a few contact people for each CA group. When I am done, I will post the starter kit here in a PDF file as a reference. Quiltlady is arranging a meeting for us to meet with the Commander of this district to present to him our packet. Future recruits and families will have a document (or PDF file), like a handbook to use about our site.
I have contact people for the SFBay and NorCal groups. Only your screen name (user name) will be supplied, no phone number. The contact person should be someone who can send the new member a welcoming message on his or her page, answer a few questions and direct her/him to the appropriate groups to join.
Sharon? Yes, please?

Sharon--
Enjoy your two weeks and give him a hug from me. I won't see my son until some time early next year. The phone service to Norfolk is good so far, I haven't heard from him since Sunday, but that is normal, we usual talk 2 to 5 times per week.
