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."

Welcome puertorico42! Several of us from the Triad area are planning to meet this coming Saturday (3/30) at the IHOP on Lanada Rd. in Greensboro (near I-40 at Wendover) at 11:00 am. Please join us if you can.
Chris, I'm so sorry we won't get to see you this time, but it's great that you'll get to have your whole family together!

puertorico42 and Navymomx2, there is a luncheon this Saturday at IHOP in GSO if either of you want to come. Navymomx2, I will be traveling from Hickory if you want to meet and ride with me. I could pick you up over on 16 if you are near there or somewhere on 127 if that is better for you. Puertorico42, what sort of job will your son be doing after his school in GL?
