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."

Comment by SamisMom on June 23, 2013 at 11:05am: Good morning!!! I can't believe I didn't see this group before - I'm from Placer County - the town of Meadow Vista.

My baby girl PIRs on July 19th...anyone else here?

Comment by Janai'sMom on June 22, 2013 at 12:27pm: halee, that's awesome! I live off Lincoln Way! I don't have a SR anymore, she PIR'd last week, and so now I have a Sailor! I'll send you a friend request. We live so close!

Comment by halee on June 22, 2013 at 12:20pm: Janai's Mom, We live in Foresthill. My sons went to Placer, as did my husband and I. Do you have a SR ?

Comment by LZ27 on June 22, 2013 at 10:26am: Home from a sad trip back east to put my dad to rest with a full Navy military funeral. The silver lining was I got to see my sailor. He sent his grandfather with two challenge coins one from OCS and one from his commander. It was a moving moment for both of us and moments later I experience a Steel Magnolias laugh. Will have to tell you about it at M & G! Can't wait to see all of you and get those Navy mom hugs.

Comment by Janai'sMom on June 21, 2013 at 7:16pm: Hi halee. I'm from Placer County! I live in Auburn and one of my Navy mom friends lives in Meadow Vista! Do you live near either of us?

Comment by halee on June 21, 2013 at 1:42pm: My SR's PIR is set for Aug. 2nd. How many others are attending ? We will be there from 8/1-8/4. I'm still waiting for my first call & personal letter. (Already rec'vd the Form letter)

Comment by Vickyrun on June 21, 2013 at 11:58am: Wecome halee, I am from Amador county

Comment by halee on June 21, 2013 at 10:42am: Hi ! I'm new. Anyone from Placer County ? Wishing everyone a good weekend !

Comment by Tee-1sailor's mom on June 19, 2013 at 3:18pm: I won't be able to make the 29th, I'll be visiting my sailor and meeting his fiance!

Comment by Cindy on June 18, 2013 at 8:24pm: Hi ladies! I just got back from a family vacation in Florida that included a visit with our son and a chance to tour his base and ship. His captain did his reenlistment and it was an awesome experience! Can't believe he's already onto his next four years! I hope to make it to the next M&G.

Monica - I'm happy to share info about Elk Grove. We live in a home in a not too great area (just north of EG) that we bought new back in 1990. We lived for about 7 years in a different part of town until the kids made it through HS, and moved back last summer. EG is a great place for families and I'd be happy to share my insights.
