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."

My son is a Navy vet and is going to be working in Denver very soon. I thought the best place to ask for a recommendation on where he should live is right here on N4Ms. I can always trust the advice of a Navy mom! He is 28 and single. Any ideas?

I see there is talk about meeting sometime soon. I would love to join all of you if where you are going is workable for me. Not that it makes any difference, but I will not drive to the Peoples Republic of Boulder. :)

Hello Yella Horse Gal, When you get back from PIR we should get together. Congratulations on having a Sailor. If you get this message before your trip, take lots of quarters for toll roads. I didn't and had to frantically search for changes. My daughter has been a Sailor almost for 2 years now. Time does fly by so quickly.

Oh I just saw. GJ is little far... But hey, I used to live in Ouray for 30 years. Just moved over here last year. I go back some for visits. I also may be headed through GJ on my way to see my family for Labor day to Northern CA. Maybe we could meet then?
