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 elizabeth on April 7, 2012 at 12:38pm: Damon's is my vote also.

Comment by Diana Ross on April 7, 2012 at 12:20pm: I vote for Damon's!

Comment by Bandito's Mom on April 6, 2012 at 9:29pm: Okay, it is official time to get our act together for the April Meet & Greet. (I had a nap today, I can actually think!)

28Apr about 2pm-ish

I am assuming that everyone who listed where they live are contemplating coming to the M&G. So, I plugged in all the places to Google Maps and boggled my mind. Probably L.A. or Hollywood would be more central than Culver City.

Here are the nominations so far

Barragans - Echo Park, Downtown LA

Damon's - Glendale

Proud Bird - LAX

California Pizza Kitchen - Culver City

Any nominations? Any votes? Would you be more inclined to show if it was one location over another?

Comment by Bandito's Mom on March 14, 2012 at 8:37pm: I have added a Discussion above. Please add a general area where you live. To make it easy to read and navigate, would like only where you live information in the Discussion. We can add our thoughts of where we want the meeting, etc., to the comments still. Thanks,

Comment by Bandito's Mom on March 13, 2012 at 9:51pm: Ladies? Will take suggestions until the end of March and then decide. Remember, we are a diverse group and come from many directions. Should be Freeway close. No too loud, have room for up to 20 people (hoping we get that many) and serve some food. If no other place is better, we will default back to CPK in Culver City.

Comment by Honey M. on March 13, 2012 at 11:56am: I am excited about the meet & greet, has a location been determined?

Comment by Bandito's Mom on March 11, 2012 at 2:07am: Time to start marking everyone's Calendars.... April 28 for the next Meet & Greet

Comment by Bandito's Mom on March 6, 2012 at 11:36am: Elizabeth, I am so glad that you know and love your new daughter-in-law. I had all kinds of crazy images in my head. Enjoy taking the time shopping for the right dress for Vegas (and the other clothes you will be able to justify).

Comment by elizabeth on March 5, 2012 at 1:44pm: Hello Everyone. Just got back late last night from Sacramento. I now have a new daughter-in-law that we love. They got married in Auburn having a civil service, it was very sweet and short with ten people in attendance. They are planning a renewal of vows for next March 2nd in Las Vegas that all friends and family can attend. They have known each other for 8 years, but didn't start seeing each other until last April just before he left for bootcamp, they saw each other a couple times why he was at A school n San Antonio, but broke up in mid October. They started talking again in mid January, spent 4 days together over Valentines weekend and now are married. She won't be moving to San Diego with him until July. Judy I only had 1 1/2 hours to shop and find a dress, I had my grand kids staying with me for two weeks which was planned before I found out they were getting married. Well, I have 11 months to find a dress for next years wedding in LV.

BQB, good luck to your son adjusting back to civilian life.

Welcome Cheri, my youngest daughter lives downtown a block from Staples Center.

Comment by susank on March 4, 2012 at 12:35pm: BQB what is your son going to do in the civilian world? Just curious for when the time comes for us. Good Luck to you all and don't forget to visit on N4M.
