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."

dates are good for me.  sure hope gas goes down soon!

Comment by Bandito's Mom on October 6, 2012 at 12:41pm

LadyHawk, Canyon Country may be a bit far north, maybe somewhere in the Valley?  Everyone is spread out, so it is hit and miss.  Go for it, name a time and place, we can set it up.  Would Nov 3 or 10 work? 

Comment by cozymom on October 5, 2012 at 12:13pm

Lady Hawk. I also live in Canyon Country. How's everyone doing. Hard to believe we have hit October already!!

Comment by denise on September 30, 2012 at 1:30pm

Good morning!  i am new to this group.

my daughter was just stationed in San Diego and I live in Gardena. (i know how fortunate i am to have her so close!)

a M&G sounds wonderful!

Comment by Bandito's Mom on September 29, 2012 at 6:26pm

LadyHawk would love to have one.  Do you want to set a date?  Been a bit since we had one.  We will all jump in and help once we decide on a date.  Seems that weekend days have worked well.  We had one in Culver City and one in Glendale. 

Comment by TenaciousDee on August 4, 2012 at 1:18am

Thank you Bandito's Mom! I look forward to the next meet and greet!

Comment by cozymom on July 26, 2012 at 1:39pm

Hello everyone! Haven't been around for quite awhile and just popped in to catch up! Although I missed the last M&G I'm hoping to make the next one. My son just received his fish and is getting ready to go out on his first underway. Exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time.

Hope you all are enjoying your summers. Bandito's Mom--that shop has been crazy busy with our great Cali weather!

Comment by Bandito's Mom on July 25, 2012 at 9:35pm

TenaciousDee,,,, Welcome aboard!  We have a plan to get together about every quarter.  Hoping for sometime in Aug or Sep.  Will probably start planning soon.

My son is in So Carolina, finished A School and now in Power School for Nuclear Technician

Comment by TenaciousDee on July 15, 2012 at 11:32pm

Hello! My son in currently in GL for A School! I'm happy to have found this group! 

Comment by Bandito's Mom on July 8, 2012 at 9:26pm

Hope you all had a very happy 4th!  Sorry I have been AWOL a bit.  Super busy with the store, especially now that it is summer.  Son and his DIL had leave this week and spent it traveling to DC.  Also checked out Norfolk VA in hopes that some day they will be stationed there.
