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."

Drama,
I think you are in the Washington group already. There is a Southern Oregon/Northern CA group but it's small and not very active. Feel free to hang with us in the San Fran Bay group. You know mikes_mom, Kathy and now Stephen C. Besides, we are so nutty we'll welcome anyone with open arms. Hahaha - LOL just kidding. I heard that Oregonians are just Californians who can put up with colder weather and rain. Besides, you're an old SC girl (my kinds gal).
My younger son decided he had enough of the cold and barren landscapes of North Dakota, he came home to regroup before going back to Univ of OK to finish his degree. I have to admit it's really, really weird to have both sons so close by (former sailor just 45 minutes away).

Stephen C,
Just sent you a friend request. We have a very active group locally with many members in the Napa/Santa Rosa area. We had a meet and greet in Petaluma at the beginning of this year and one planned for Jan '13 - location TBD. Please come join us. Just click on link below and click "+JOIN"

By the way, you might want to get in the habit of checking you "status box" on upper right (INBOX, ALERTS, FRIENDS) and your personal page (click MY PAGE on menu bar).

It may be helpful for any of you who have DEPPERS right now to follow one of the PIR groups. It will give you insight into what they do, week by week, and you will feel more prepared when your SR arrives there, knowing a little about what is happening. Here is one of the current PIR (graduation) group links. You don't have to join it to read the posts.
