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."

Comment by Melissa (Tucson) on June 10, 2009 at 6:48pm: Welcome Georgette!
Glad you joined us and about when will you be moving here??? I live on the far eastside of Tucson and I love it out here. As you get more info about what areas you're looking at feel free to stop in here, we'd be happy to give you our opinion. :)

Comment by Melissa (Tucson) on June 5, 2009 at 3:23pm: Janet: I'm so sorry to hear about your son. I know how concerned you've been over his medical treatment in boot camp. I'll keep him in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Keep me posted. Hugs to you.

Comment by Melissa (Tucson) on May 29, 2009 at 2:36am: Hi Ladies!

I wanted to pass along our DEP Zone Meeting news! Camilla has found a community project for the DEPPERS. They have "adopted" a city park! It's Himmel Park, 1000 N Tucson Blvd. (One block south of Speedway) This coming Saturday, June 6th at 9:00am, the DEPPERS will start their community project and I think it would be great if us Moms could meet at the same time and show our support! Let me know if you're interested in attending. :)

Comment by Melissa (Tucson) on May 5, 2009 at 12:27pm: 14 days! Woohoo, get ready for THE most exciting event a parent can experience! Bring back some pictures and have a safe trip Janet.

Comment by Melissa (Tucson) on May 4, 2009 at 9:20pm: Leslie, it was great meeting you and Becky! We didn't wrap things up till almost 12:30.....I guess some of the guest speakers were a little long winded. Oh, well, it wasn't too hot and it's always nice to make those Navy Mom connections. You and Becky are always welcome. Next month the DEPPERS will be doing a community service project, and the first Saturday in July is the 4th of July, so I need to find out what Saturday it's changing to. :)

Comment by Melissa (Tucson) on April 28, 2009 at 3:03am: Info for DEP Zone Meeting:

Saturday, May 2nd at Reid Park, Ramada #19, 8:00am - 12:00pm. The DEPPERS start PT at 8am, I usually arrive between around 8:30am - 9:00am.

Comment by Melissa (Tucson) on April 27, 2009 at 2:22pm: Joan, l'm available for a Monday after 1:00.....let's see who else is. We may have to schedule 2 coffee hours to catch everyone.

Comment by Melissa (Tucson) on April 26, 2009 at 3:41pm: Hi Joan:
I'm back from Norfolk. Matt was here on leave until April 14th. We all had a wonderful visit with him. He hasn't changed at all, still my sweet little baby boy (okay, he's a man now, but will always be the baby of the family).
I flew to Seattle April 18th for the homecoming in Everett, WA of the USS Rodney M Davis. Met lots more Navy Moms!! And had a blast. Returned this last Thursday. I'm planning my next trip....lol, lol. I hope you all have your PIR pictures to share the next time we get together...
Joyce and I spoke yesterday and it's time for another "coffee" hour.

Comment by Melissa (Tucson) on April 23, 2009 at 11:49pm: Hi Lisa,
Wow, graduation is right around the corner. Are you getting excited? I don't think there are any get togethers planned. When are you available? My schedule is wide open. :)

Comment by Melissa (Tucson) on April 15, 2009 at 9:18pm: Aaron's Mom: Welcome to our Tucson Group! We also have an Arizona Group, we'd love to have to join us there. And the group you may find the most helpful to you now is the Boot Camp Moms. Look for the group that has close to 2k members. We have a few recruits in boot camp from Tucson, I hope you connect with Moms with recruits in Div 207. :)
