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."
Events
Please note! Changes to this guide happened in October 2017. There are now tickets issued, and there are no longer parking passes for PIR.
Please see changes to attending PIR in the PAGES column. The PAGES are located under the member icons on the right side.

Congrats Molly to your daughter. It's always nice when they notice and do something about it. Prayers going up for her.
No traveling in my future, except my trip to VA to see Daughter and Granddaughter. Which was planned a year ago! My 2 Grandsons keep me busy in Ohio, along with my job :( But hope it all works out for you all and you have a Blast! Don't forget to toast those of us that are absent but with you in Heart and Spirit.

I'm jealous watching OK plans firm up. I want in!! I can't do that, but we'll be in Jacksonville over Christmas...anyone in the area then????
Molly is on the fast track at the hospital there as a commander took notice. She's so happy which makes me happy.

JayDee,
I will certainly let you and Oleander know just as soon as I can pin down a date. The weather is the biggest issue - making sure that we can drive from Florida to Oklahoma and then on to Vegas without encountering winter!!!!!

I'm in. BUT I need a heads up as early as possible as to the date so that I can get a decent priced ticket! Anna, as soon as you nail down your date, let us know. SW has spring tickets on sale now....
