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."

bluesarasota, if you are on Facebook, I made a group called Southwest Florida Navy Moms. Please ask to join if you would like. I am thinking about having a meet and greet with the other moms. Waiting to get some more to join and also find a place to accommodate everyone.

I also live in the Sarasota Bradenton area. It would be great to get together in our neck of the woods. So far, I have seen two people with recent posts. Is anyone ready to get together? I don't mind organizing it. Friend me and we can get it going!
