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."

I have been admin of this group since since last year, with Heloisa's agreement and endorsement while she was gone.
Creator of the group is the person who started the group. The admin/admins can edit the "text" box where the calendar is, send out group messages and other duties. Admins can not delete comments. I believe what Heloisa is asking is if someone can take over as Creator of the group. Who ever takes over as creator and/or admin should have the same vision for the group as Heloisa did.
Hello paddysmina. Hope to see you at the meet and greet in Healdsburg.

Heloisa, I am glad your son is home and making plans. It is always good to have the people we love near us. I will keep you all in my prayers anyway. My son Mike finally got his orders. Finally. He is currently still in Great Lakes going threw his school. Just started his 'C" school or is it "Sea" school? Mike says "A" school is not so much hard as very fast. There is a ton of information and not a lot of time to learn it. He is thrilled to know that in a month , when the "C-sea" school is done he will be going over to Norfolk, Va. He got his dream ship. A CG 61. he loves those cruisers. I think they are why he joined the Navy in the first place. I can't remember if I can say the name of his ship so I won't until I am certain. I haven't been posting anything as things are up in the air with my daughters wedding next month and the business being so busy. I will try and make a little time to at least say hi though. Take care.. Dee

Thank you Paymaster. Travel safe.
Helosia/N's mom - I was wondering how you have been. I'm glad to hear your good news, and will keep the prayers coming. Transition and change can be very exciting and fun (just as scary and unsetteling). Please keep us updated. Once a Navy Mom always a Navy Mom.

May 16th works for me. I have a big exam on the 15th, and I'll be in the mood to crash land on Sunday! I don't know anything about Fair Oaks, I'm afraid. You'd think I'd know the area better after having lived around here for 40 years, but, nope. I am open to explore however. There's only one place I know in Fair Oaks and it's this amazing crepes place where they make the most delicious French Onion soup. I think it's called Danielle's or something like that. Anyhow, you all have a fabulous day, and I'll try to catch up later. ta-ta for now.

Tallmama - when we went this site was not available when we went. It is an AMAZING experience. One I will never forget. Enjoy. I would suggest a rental car - helped us greatly.
Okay, I'll look and see - where are we all at? May is such an amazing month in my world. I leave for a church event in St.Louis on the 29th of April - return on the 3rd. The following weekend am working an event in Grass valley - the next weekend in Fallon, the weekend of the 22nd in Chester/Greenville/Taylorsville - then it is memorial day weekend. GADS. The best date looking at this would be Sunday the 16th around lunch time (1). Old Fair Oaks is a fun spot - the little park is still there right? Is there somewhere there that anyone would recommend. Paymaster that's your neighborhood right? What do you think?
