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."

For those that are interested I have posted an event in the Nor Cal group. Its to a Meet and Greet. This is the second time I am hosting this event.
The event is at my house. I am asking that those that attend and who can afford it, please bring a new toy to be donated to the Marine Corp Toys for Tots program. For every toy you bring you will recieve a raffle ticket. I am raffling off a handmade quilt made by me for the prize. Last year Noe from the bay area won the quilt.
Hope you all can make it. We had a great time last year, even the dad's seem to enjoy themselves.
Please RSVP above. Once you have checked in I will sent you direction to the house.

thank you paymaster

1stlove....I would book on SW they are good about changes and often don't charge you for changes whenit involves the military. They also don't charge you for bages like alot of the other airlines do. The other airlines wait til you get to the ticket counter and then tell you there is a charge for your bags, it gets pricey. Good luck.

Katy congratulations to your son, it is a relief to get A School over with.
