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."

Calling All East Texas Moms (around Tyler and Surrounding Areas)

Just throwing this out there. If you are interested in getting together maybe sometime in September, let me know. I think if we can get a group of maybe at leAst 6 Navy Moms, we could plan a get together. I'm just using Tyler as a starting point, but location could be determined later. It would be fun !

Hi, I live in Kilgore. We have a group that gets together every couple if months. We actually got together last night in Tyler. We have a FB page Navy Moms of East Texas. You have to ask to join then we will approve you. I think FB is easier to communicate.

Hi dragon7. Texarkana is quite a ways from Tyler, but that's great if you want to get together. Is your son or daughter in BC or are they already a sailor?
