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."

Yes. We live in Palacios. Not too much here, (pop. 5,000) but we are one of the largest shrimp fishing harbors along the Gulf Coast. Don't know what your likes/dislikes are, but we are 30 miles from the beach at Matagorda, and the South Texas Nuclear Plant is 16 miles from us. Largest town is Bay City, about 20,000 pop. Highway 35 follows the coast line pretty much from Palacios to Aransas Pass and on to Corpus Christi.

J's/S's mom...It is nearly 18 hr for me to drive...I plan to leave by 12noon on Wed, and finish up Thurs. Hoping to be at Meet n Greet on time!!! Wish I knew when my SR was flying out, so I could determine if I am going to be back Mon am for work!! Getting nervous! Got the room, door decorations, tide pen, towelette wipes, and a white towel for uniform. Worried that I will be late!! But my daughters are meeting me from OH, so they can help their frazzled mom!!!

Hi there! I am a transplanted Texan, hailing originally from OH. My son left from OH for BC in April. I live in Sweetwater, TX. Anybody close to me attending PIR 6/6/14? Let me know. I plan to drive to GL.

Change that 4th generation to 5th generation Texan. I do genealogy and you would think I could keep my ancestors straight!

Howdy and Welcome, Guacamole: ;<}
(Had to smile at your "handle". Where else but Texas?) Wow! Your son lucked out being stationed so close to home. Corpus is not that far away. My other grandson lives there now and LOVES the beach. He served aboard a Sub when he was in the Navy and was stationed in Hawaii. One of my life-long dreams was to visit Hawaii and we (his parents and I) finally got to visit with him when he was there. I am also a 4th generation Texan and very proud of it. I live in Palacios which is in Matagorda County on Matagorda Bay. About half way between Houston and Corpus. Glad to have you aboard!
