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."

Upcoming Meet & Greets

Saturday, February 25th - Pot Luck Luncheon, 11am at Bobbie's house in Irvine. Bring something to share for the Pot Luck and enjoy a fun afternoon with other local Navy moms! Please, NO SEAFOOD. Because this event is going to be held in one of our member's home, the address will only be forwarded via private message to those attending. I know we all have busy schedules, but please try and come. There is always wonderful conversation and something to learn from the experiences of fellow Navy moms. Look for the EVENT to the right of your screen and sign up, or you can do so here on the South OC Navy Mom group page below :D
