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 BunkerQB on September 1, 2009 at 12:37am: Click HERE for more info and RSVP for OCT 25, 2009 EVENT in Los Altos.

Questions: Just ask. B.

Comment by NevadaSierra on August 31, 2009 at 10:21pm: Bea you are awesome! Absolutely! Thank you for making it so easy. Ginger just asked how many were coming. I was hoping to get the media kit - maybe folks just haven't repsonded, what you have done makes it much easier.
Okay Ladies: what should we use as a guage to cancel an event? I live pretty far away for most of you to come, and I don't want to ask if we aren't going to have enough - especially with Commander Nafarrete, and Lance (local retruiter) planning on attending. We will be gone Thursday thru Tuesday for the annual family reunion at Topaz Lake. Is Wednesday close enough to call it if we don't have at least ten? Please let me know what your thoughts are. Thanks, s

Comment by BunkerQB on August 31, 2009 at 10:16pm: Ladies,
We have a meet and greet on the schedule for October in Los Altos - my home. Moms and dads welcome. I am just waiting for confirmation on the 25th from Commander Nafarrete. Will be posting event this week. Vernita & Leeanna, if you want to do an earlier meet and greet, that would be good too.
A new discussion to be used to keep tabs of planned events. Keep comments here not above. RSVP in EVENTS.

Comment by Vickie - Rooney's mom on August 31, 2009 at 6:58pm: So sad I can't make the Spaghetti Factory, I'll be in Colusa that day.

Comment by NevadaSierra on August 31, 2009 at 12:20pm: Just checking on any Navy families in Auburn affected by the fire? Please let us know - especially if you need help~s

Comment by Vickie - Rooney's mom on August 29, 2009 at 7:46pm: Welcome Val, bootcamp is the hardest time. I know where Dunnigan is, I live in Dixon and travel that way often. Hang in there, write lots of letters and take the phone with you everywhere. My son called once while in bootcamp.

Comment by Paymaster on August 28, 2009 at 8:26pm: Ok the gathering at the spagetti factory this Thrusday? What time should everyone attempt to arrive?

Comment by Tee-1sailor's mom on August 28, 2009 at 3:12pm: Cindy, I also work in Ranco Cordova. If you have any BC questions, my son was PIR 8/21 so it's still fresh for me. I think the first 2 weeks are the hardest on the moms.

Thanks everyone for the welcome. With the PIR group going their separate ways I was feeling kind of lost. (I also belong to N4Ms annonomas! LOL (oh, bad spelling)

Comment by Cindy on August 28, 2009 at 2:10pm: I'm still new to the group, and Spaghetti Factory sounds great. I work in Rancho Cordova, just a few miles from the restaurant, so please let me know if there's anything I can do to help. My son left Tuesday for BC and this website has been such a great support through a difficult week.

And, Tee -- I know we've never met or even talked, but if you ever need a ride, we might not be too far apart (I live in South Sac/Elk Grove area), so please let me know if I can help. I understand your challenge as my husband doesn't drive as a result of RP (Retinitis Pigementosa) and know how frustrating it can be.

I look forward to meeting everyone!
Cindy
