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."

Nucmom, I didn't realize you were in the Modesto area. We have a fabulous group in the San Fran bay area with many members from the Central Valley. Kathy our admin left a message on your page. Look forward to talking to you in the San Fran Group. A lot of nice supportive people - quite a few Nukes. We love to meet in person and yak, yak all afternoon. LOL.
