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."

Hi Mary, I was looking for the Meet and Greet discussion and can't find it. I am wondering if we can find somewhere else to accomodate us other than the Ramada. I know it's kind of the "official" M&G place, but I went to a local M&G and one of the ladies mentioned that she heard the Ramada was "getting run down and a little dirty." I think I have seen that others meet elsewhere, but I would have to go look and see.
Also, I haven't been here much since school began again last week, but has there been discussion about where people in our PIR are staying? I will check back in. Thanks for doing such a great job with this Group!!

Just know that better days are coming....A School is so much better because you all can SKYPE and call. (and visit!) So hang in there!
