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."

Welcome to the group, and welcome to your son. This group is not very active (as im sure you can see) I highly recommend you join the Navy For Mom's group on facebook that Joan talked about in a previous post =)

New to the Ramage. Son reported 4 July. Not a lurker but look forward to hearing about what's going on. I love the newsletters.

Joan- I know one of the people who take's photographs for the newsletter, I'll see if we cant make a little deal to get some photos of that handsome son of yours!

That is true, although Im sure we have some people lurking in the shadows!!!! Haha.. (We see you all out there, it shows your members, post, become active, please. I ask this very kindly, and trust me, Im not that kind of a person ;-) Tehehe)

LMAO- I knew you wouldnt be far behind me in going to post it =). It was kind of boring, more photos then news this time. I was not to sure about posting the FRG's phone number because this is a semi public forum so opted against it, but for everyone on this group, the FRG does have a new phone number- Email the FRG President, or the Ombudsman (Naomi- email listed above) to obtain that information
