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."

Laura A. has stepped and agreed to represent us on Saturday April 4th at 9:00 am Randolph Park for the Tucson DEP Zone Meeting. I've love to see someone else give Laura a little support. If you have 2 hours to spare, you can help Laura out AND support our local DEPPERS!

Hi Tucson Moms! Julie (Cory's) from Peoria asked that I post this for all of you to see. I WILL be attending this event. (Yes, we still have a DEP meeting in Tucson on the same date!)
Ladies: Moms, Wives,Girlfriends, Grandmas! We have been invited / requested to attend the April 4th North Central Phoenix Zone / Dep picnic. It will be held at Cortez Park at 35th Ave and Dunlap (3434 W. Dunlap) I guess they heard what a huge success the Zone Meeting in Tucson was!! I will get it posted on "Events" tomorrow. They asked if we would be availabe to talk to the parents of new recruits, tell them our experiences and, of course, invite them to join "Navy for Moms". I asked what we should plan to provide for the picnic and was told they would need side dishes, chips, eating utensils and paper products. They specifically requested NO DESSERTS or concentrated sweets.
Please plan to attend if you can....I think we made a really big impression in Tucson.....and I hope we can do again.

Hi Jill! Glad you all got a call from Brandon. Isn't just wonderful to hear their voice?? Sounds like he's doing really good. My son complained about boredom towards the end of boot camp also. Once they get the routine down, all is well. What is your son's job in his division? You must be proud of him for helping out his rack mate!
My son loves sports and I sent him all the sports articles in the paper, everyday. He said he really enjoyed have the local and national sports.

Suzann: My son reported to Norfolk last October and is stationed on the USS Ramage (a destroyer). I do have info about Norfolk (not ALL the info...lol). I'm driving Matt's car to Norfolk in a couple of weeks and will be there for 6 days along with some of our other Navy Moms.

Okay, the Bush Boat does NOT have it's own website yet!
-

Have him send an email to his sponsor. Does he have the email? And go to the Bush Boat website and see if you can register as a family member. All the ship websites are set up a little differently so I can't give exact site info. You will want to be on the emailing list for the ship's ombudsman and the FRG President (Family Readiness Group). Let me go check out the Bush Boat website....brb
