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 think that’s a great idea!

Hi everyone - Carrol, the creator of this group is no longer on here. If you'd like I can change the name of the group so it's NOT just Southern California Moms.
Let me know if you'd like me to do that. Then you can still keep everyone in one place!

I don't live in SoCal either. And I didn't read the heading correctly! I was thinking pilots stationed in SoCal. With the limited number in the group, it seems like one group for helo moms might make it easier to connect.

Hi, I don’t live in SoCal, but my son is in the Romeo FRS. He loves living in San Diego. We helped him and his wife PCS from Milton in August and loved the area!

Hello! My son is about halfway thru training in San Diego. I keep looking for ways to connect with other moms... He received his wings last April.

Hi SoCal moms! My son will be heading your way next. Currently he is at the US Naval War College in Newport, RI., but he got word in March that he has been selected for command. Last week he learned that he will be doing his XO and CO tour in sunny San Diego. Exciting times! Now we are waiting for the O-5 promotion list to be released in May. That would complete the trifecta for sure.

Truly sad news... I'll keep them in my thoughts.

Hi fellow helomoms! Just noticed that some had posted recently. Here's my update: My son is currently deployed too. He left in May and I've had 4 emails from him. LOL I know he's really busy! This is part of his department head tour so he was the Safety and Training Officer when they left and he has now taken over the Operations Officer duties. Added to that he's working on his JPME and his Masters Degree from OU. He does check in with his wife and I get the important stuff from her. The squadron is moving from JAX to Norfolk when they return from cruise. My husband and I have volunteered for moving duty again. We arrived in JAX the night before the moving truck and assisted with the grandkids and the boxes. The fun never stops!
