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."

Okay, if you will send me a private message with your facebook names, I can add you when I create the page. I believe you'll get an email saying you've joined the group. It should show up in your list of groups when you look at your facebook page. I'm a member of several secret groups and it works well. You can't join unless someone adds you, but anyone will be able to add someone you know is part of this group.

Sorry ladies! I forgot that to add you to the facebook group we have to be friends on facebook. If you have your facebook settings set so that I can send you a friend request, great. Send me a message here with your facebook name.
Once you are a member of the group, you can add members. So, if you are already facebook friends with someone in the group, you can add them.
As I've told a few of you, I keep a pretty tight list of friends on facebook. So, please know it's not personal if I "unfriend" you after the group gets going. We'll still be able to chat on the group.
